Buggs Monday Tuesday

Main lake was a mess and upper creeks were getting heavy stained so we spent our time at Rudds Butchers. Found some really good fish in deeper water on brush and suspended next to brush...30-40 FOW. Tough bite could only catch them if you held the jig still and waited for the lite bite. Fish were very mobile and moved up and down in the water and around the brush piles. The wind was not our friend either day especially Tuesday making boat control very difficult. Anyway we did well catching two at 15" and and some fatties 12-13". Had a problem trying to release one of the 15 incher due to water depth...she came off the bottom in 35'. How do you deflate the bladder ? Great time with good friends. FB

Thank for the report. Nice FISH BUDdy! :-)

Nice fish!

Good fish...as you are lipping him in 1 hand take other hand and from top of his back with a thumb on 1 side and few fingers on other side kinda behind gill plates squeeze him,,will let air out and he will swim off...hope I said it right...think chief had said that couple yrs ago bout Jordan lake and dang if it didn't work.

Nice

Glad you had a good day on the water. Nice fish. I saw the guys on In fisherman deflate the swim bladder with a sharp hook. They claim the fish heals no problem. That's what I do.
