Ripinlips and I had a very interesting trip yesterday evening. Of course he outfished me as ususal. But I'm getting the hang of jig fishing instead of using minows. We had a good evening. And the bite was excellent. And of course I had to get my non-targeted species in and out of the boat. Hopefully the picture uploaded.
Nice !
Very nice, congrats
Looks like you guys had a great trip!
We did have a good time, and thats what it is about.:fish
Excellent post Paul, glad you guys got out. You fellows have been doing pretty good lately and I know you always have a good time. Hey Richard what type of fish did he come up with this time?:biggrin
Is pb1 useable.
Debating whether or not to come down on friday. Think the bite will still be good after the storms that are suppose to hit today? We're they still on the banks?
Great report, jigs, minnows, jig tipped with a minnow? :dono As long as you're catchin'
They were a little of the bank. You can put in at PB1 if you have a flatbottom boat. Pretty shallow...... It was a drum that was in and then out of the boat......
Depending on how much rain we get that area will muddy up quick. But should be able to find fish and cleaner water down just a short trip from thereQuote:

Thanks for the info. Gonna put in at 2 tommorrow. Will start by 1 and work back down lake towards 2. If ya all are out there I have a camouflage 20 ft xpress with a 115 mercury optimax on the back. Feel free to stop and say hi.
Have good luck up there in muddy water. Just have to slow way down and throw something with some thump too it. Just been a while since my fishing opportunities lined up with the day right after a storm. Didn't know where they were in relationship to spawn. Seems like if they aren't guarding a nest sometimes them storms will push them back to and sometimes down into deeper water. Thanks for the reminder about the cleaner water. Will probably still go up by 1 to try to avoid the crowds but if the bite is slow, that clean water being fresh in my mind will trigger me to move down lake a little sooner.Quote:

Small males were stacked on the bank in isolated areas. Biggest problem we had today was when we found fish we just couldn't get them to bite. We could literally see them but as far as the good ones I don't think we could have drawn a strike with dynamite. Either that storm front yesterday really messed them up or we just weren't holding our mouths right. On the plus side the males we did keep were on the bank. Looks like they are just starting to do their thing. The one female we kept appeared to still be loaded with eggs. Looks like next week might be real real hot. Lot of fish seem to be staging, with a few on the banks now. Lake is still very clear. Good luck.
We will be putting in at army rec and roaming around, got my stickers on the boat and we both have cdc hats so if you see a couple of guys having a good time on the water stop and say hi. As long as I can keep Paul away from his new drum friend Debbie we will visit good luck all and hope everyone finds a spot to park not to far away from the ramp.
