This spring needless to say has been one for the books. The virus.....horrible spring weather......and my first time ever having a severe case of vertigo. It looked like I would miss the spawn completely. Well I was able to get on the lake today and with the aid of the si unit I got in on a a fantastic 5 hours of fishing. I filmed using 5 minute loop mode today. I have over 200 chapters of video to edit....that translates to a lot of fish......approaching 200 for sure. I had close to 90 shell cracker.....90 bluegill.....and 3 good largemouth 14-15 inches. Also some redbreast in the mix. The bluegill were all at or a little over the 8 inch mark. Most of the shell cracker were 9-10 inches. But I had quite a few that hit the 11-11.5 inch mark. Most fish caught on the Fine Tail Banshee 6 foot Super Ultra Light.....including the largemouth. I did land a few shell cracker using the 6’ 7” Banshee. Used a Daiwa Presso Limited 1025 and a Ballistic FW 1000 reel. The line, 2.3# test Varivas ester mono with a 3 foot section of FC leader. The lure....I’m sure all can guess....a Bison colored Trout Magnet on a Daiwa Gekkabijin 1.5 gram #8 jig head. Most beds were in 4-5 feet of water. I was at the lake this past Thursday.....no beds to be found. I knew it would most likely be on this past weekend but no way was I fighting that crowd. It is supposed to storm here the rest of the week. Not sure I’ll get down there before next week and I am pretty sure it will all be over by then. At least I had the one good day....and maybe there could be another spawn in June....I can hope anyway.
