Thread: Quick Report

PG24:

The lake supports an incredible population of baitfish. I've seen them swimming around in clouds. The increadibly large, fat bass may also indicate that there is enough food to support big crappie. Actually, every lake I've fished known for its giant bass seems to host crappie of similar proportion lurking beneath the wake of all the bass boats.

As far as Jordan goes...I look foward to fishing there again. I had good luck there this spring (abundant 10-13's), but nothing to put on a photograph or wall. I fished the narrow "belt" of what would be normal pool when the lake was up into the trees in March. The fish were packed into a couple quiet, well channeled bays protected from wave action.

For the very reason you mentioned, I try not to tell everyone which bathtub in Raleigh I jump into. I also rarely keep fish; and because fewer fish are injured on a jig than on a #02 aberdeen hook, I take a heightened interest in how many I can catch on the jig. I must confess, however, that I have released six 2+ lbers into Holly Springs' Bass Lake, and relinquished dozens of nice fish to those shore fishing for their dinner.

See you on the water!
