Hadn't seen many reports, no body fishing? Put about 20 large perch in the boat this morning for bait this weekend, youtubers tournament on wylie.Then crappie fished about 4 hours or so , put 70 crappie in the boat. Shooting docks and vertical jigging. Kept 20 to eat. They are biting!
Its because not everyone wants to report! Or having a hard time catching! Or staying quiet with a big tournament coming up. 😎😁
I dont mind telling.....:biggrinits just fishing....some people make a big deal out of it....
CountryBoy, as you know I’m mainly a Striper fisherman the bite has been steady but no one has found the school that has the bigger Hybrids. I’m talking 5.5 to 6.5 hybrids like we did last year at this time. The bite has been in the better water (not muddy) that has been below heavy mud line which Saturday was at Hager’s Creek Landing on the Main Channel . We caught four short fish Sunday in that area. This time last year there was a small fleet of boats on Norman catching plenty.
I’m fishing One of the Hybrid Only Tournaments Pete’s talking about along with 22 other pre-signed up teams on Jan. 19th

I did have some really nice marks on the graph Sunday that I figured were perch. At the time I didn't want to stop trolling to toss a jig. This weekend I'll be on Wylie chasing cats and now I wish I would've stopped to catch a few of those perch for bait.
I have been tied up with work but im about to break that trend.lol
