Kim City - Feb 15 - Fun Swimbait, BFL, FFS and Lack of etiquette

[Quillback]

Low 20's tomorrow with a north wind.  Sounds like fun.

Temp dropping, wind blowing, raining so I built a fire and am staying in.   I am kind of glad my partner for today seems to have the flu and said he couldn’t go.  It looks like a quick turnaround though.

Sounds like the Montauk guys have taken to bass fishing on boats.

Gosh, this makes me want a bass boat bad.

Yeah, a moderator with a hair-trigger is exactly what we need on these lakes 😅

Are you catching Kentucky with largemouth? I don’t seem to find them mixed in too often

Greg, in my area the bait and fish have really moved a lot. I have pretty much committed to the swimbait bite and I ignore fish below 30ft even when they are under the boat. The scenario I have found lately is small balls of surface shad where you have 1 to 5 fish postured underneath, so the fish are 5 to 15ft below the surface regardless of water depth. This scenario is tailor made for FFS and has worked on both sunny and cloudy days. I have found both K's and LM working these shad. I will target swimbait fish down to 30ft.

If you are fishing for deep fish (below 30ft) then you might find the K's and LM in their separate camps.

Thanks for the info. I have found I catch more Kentucky deep and the largemouth seem to sit higher up just haven’t seemed to find them mixed. Sounds like you ventured away from the damiki and went to the swim bait. I’m guessing since your fish have moved.
