They Were Deep for us 4-21-26

[Bill Babler]

Neighbor and I started where I had the topwater bite yesterday. 0700 start with surface temps at 65.6.  Water Ice Tea color. 

They were not on top, but DEEP.  School after school of shad anywhere from 26’ to 40’.  

Wolf Packs of pre-spawn Big K’s chasing them. Didn’t restart the boat till 11:00. 

Have no idea how many, but caught the majority on FFS, shaking a minnow.  

1/2 oz. Dixie Jet jigging spoon worked too along with a 2.8 Keitech. 

These 2 K’s were 18”. Really to many 15” plus to keep track of.  Those 2 were the longest.

Nice!  You're showing too much background, I think I know where that spot it.  😎

Looks like it was nice and calm, it was windy on Beaver yesterday early and got worse as the morning went on.  

Congrats on another great fishing day!

Quillback, I am of course wrong, but looks like downstream of ER and upstream of Big M. Way out on flat gravel points.

I think it is way downstream from Big M.
