Finding beds everywhere on sideVu and Livescope perspective - but the fish aren't bedding. Hmmm. I managed to find a few nice ones anyway by riding around and fishing hard. Caught about 2 dozen today, with about half being absolute hawgs. I didn't weigh any, but one redear bull was nearly 12 inches, and popping fat. I was using the Abu G Eradicator RF slow taper special 6'7" SUL rod, 3lb test Varivas twitch master, using red wigglers on a 1/32 oz #6 sickle hook jig, mostly, and a few on trout magnet. I find by using the jigs I never gut-hook fish when using worms. I hook the trees a lot, so I use the cheap sickle hook jigs instead of the JDM Daiwa gek-jigs (I am sad when I lose one of those). I'll be fishing this lake every day if I can this month. The female shellcrackers all were fat with eggs still in them. All fish released. Water temp 74.5F.
