Tuff couple of days on this lake for me. Found fish but couldn't get bit. Didn't matter what I did or didn't do, wouldn't work. Went to Gaines yesterday and while I love it, it literally whipped our rears! Today the wind kept us hemmed up most the day. Beginning to think I didn't plant enough onions!

And, ran into WSD while out and about. Hope he was able to swing some.

You know Allen, some just have the knack to catch them and some don't. I'm in the same catagory as you, I can't catch any anything these days.

I planted onions for ya Allen! Seriously, I did today. You should have hollered at me for a report. I drove to Gaines yesterday morning and people were loading up and leaving. After talking with a few of them I decided not to launch and went to mid-lake. Fishing wasn't great but ended up with about 15 keepers after fishing hard and boating around for 7 hours. Caught three real big girls, one big male and the rest were the typical 3/4 to 1 pounders, not many dinks. Two of males caught were starting to go dark. With the warm weather this week I am hoping they will be getting on the banks in a big way.

Was able to get out today for about 2.5 hrs this evening. Fished crowder area and ended up with 11 keepers. Color of choice was black/pink fished 9 ft in 10-11 fow.

Fished North end of the lake yesterday and only managed four keepers out of 9 caught . Fish were still off the banks in 6-9 foot range . Jigged quite a bit of brush in less than 3 foot of water and no hits . The air temp of 53 wasn't the ticket to get them to move up on the banks and the North wind probably didn't help either . Always next weekend

Only managed to put 1 more keeper in the basket on Sunday after a couple of hours. Seems like its getting worse before the spawn. Hope things pick up this week -- I have a buddy coming down and he's hopeing to catch lots of fish.

Question though, one of the females I cleaned up on Sunday had one sack of eggs in tact, but the other sack had basically fallen apart and the yellow color was all over the rib area. There shouldn't be anything wrong with filets - correct? I had just never seen this happen before.
