Dutch Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Since the latest report from Cape was 8” of visibility and still floating debris, I offered to bring my rig and meet Jeff at Big M. The weather guessers were wrong again. We had no fog and almost no wind. Fishing was sporadic with a few on top and a few on Ned. We never could get a consistent pattern; some were on points, some were just inside coves, some were back in the coves, some were on steep bluffy banks, some were in shallow gravely coves and some were in flat windy areas. The water temp ranged from 70-71°. The air was from 64-77°. It was cloudy all morning. Baits which produced were top waters, swim baits and Ned with Ned leading the way. We didn’t measure very many so I don’t know how many keepers we had. We did wind up with 32 counters. By my standards it was a good day.

snagged in outlet 3 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 That’s a real good day! I think you went on 5/6 not 4/6. cheesemaster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AR Huzgr Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Sounds similar to my Beaver experience today. Didn't get much top water though. I was hoping wind would pick up but it never did. Congrats on the good day Quillback 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m lucky I got the year correct. snagged in outlet 3, Quillback and cheesemaster 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillback Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 It was definitely a day where we worked for them. However, it beats staying at home and watching soap operas.

willyfish Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Fished down by Baxter and caught a couple on a swim jig and a grub. Moved up to wolf pen and had a few on a magnum GP purple trick worm. Lost one at the boat that might of went 5 , she jumped smiled and waved goodbye. Finished up in little aunts couple on a 5/16 jig with a menace trailer and my buddy caught a nice largemouth on a spook. Same conditions as Dutch said. We might run up the James later. snagged in outlet 3 and Quillback 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
