    Default Cool May Fishing Report*


    Finally got the chance to slip off after work and fish yesterday. Weatherman missed the wind prediction saying 4 mph but when I arrived the lake was white capping. Fished for two hours and managed 10 keeper crappie. Caught quite a few more dinks and two catfish. Needed my thump fix so I jigged fished using a Dennis Bayles special tipped with a diver crappie nibble. All we released to be caught another day. Did catch one with some weird growth. Maybe D10 can explain what this is.

    I love the thump too! That is either a fungal or bacterial infection. It is more prevalent on fish when the water warms up. Nothing unusual. We see it every year on a few fish. Just cook the filets properly and it's all good!

    I see you r from Conway, but that doesn't look like lake Conway in the background with no stumps and no cedars

    also, not seeing ant white capping that was mentioned.

    Nice catch. Gotta love that thump.
