The wife and I have been on Jonathan creek the last two days and it is winning. Caught 13 Saturday and tried everything. Caught 17 yesterday and again tried everything. Trolling 3 to 18 feet deep. Vertical fishing from 2 to 10 ft. One here and there but absolutely no pattern. Not used to fishing this low of water. Any insight would be appreciated.
Try longlining curly tail grubs in different colors, doubles if you can manage move to the channel ledges. I've found that the cold front and the rain has pushed them from the shallows back out to staging areas by the channels. I would try it can't hurt I went to the spots I was catching them last week and found they had moved back out. Just an idea
Cold front can make the fishing a little tougher but it still has to beat being at work banghead
Would have to agree it is better than work. Have decided to troll in 6 to 8 ft of water out from where I usually catch them spawning. Have 6 keepers and quite a few shorts.
Stopped with 15. Tough day
I'm on the boat pray'n for 6 inches of snow & subzero temps! I got 2 1/2 weeks before I can come home & I don't want it over when I get there! Rofl
AHHHHHH so you are the one to blame.nonono LOL. Up here in Dixon IL on Sunday it was 77*, sunny and no wind. Monday morning it was 38*, heck of a north wind, and a 28* wind chill. Im blaming it all on you Whiskers.Quote:

Cold front has passed but the effects are still here for me. There are nice fish being caught just not many by me. Same old story. Everybody says should have been here last week. Best we ever saw. Yeah yeah yeah I know v
That's what I always hear. I'd like to get to say it someday. Heading to New Johnsonville Tenn. in the morning for a few days. Hope to find them myself. Any of you guys ever fish that area before ? Any PM's appreciated. ;)
Took my Dad this morning for 3 hours and ended up with 8 good solid keepers with a couple of BIG fish lost at the boat.( I knew better than try to swing a 2++ pounder over the side!!!)( Pretty tough using a 14 foot pole with 4 feet of line out)
We caught them in 2-6 feet of water slow trolling roadrunners and curly tails AGAINST the rock banks. All but one were black males.
Caught my limit Saturday morning by 10:30 tightening brushpiles. Just have to find the color they want. Seemed they were all tight to the brush Saturday. Did get wet, but well worth it!
What color, dark or light?
Just like every year I'll be across the lake from you at Hillman Ferry on the 10th of April.Quote:

After last year, I actually just hope the lake levels are stabil.
Just sayin'
Come visit. I'll be at Big Bear on the 13th. Look for a big Outback fifth wheel, with a 2 level deck, on the north east side of the campground. I'll be there for a month.Quote:

You can't miss him! Look for a little round man screaming obscenities at the crappie he's caught and he will have a black lab with him who denies she knows him!
