What a Week at Clinton

I have to say this has been one of the better weeks of fishing I have had in years and I think thats saying something. I was lucky enough to hit Clinton on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday (not bad for a non-retired guy). Over those 4 days we where able to put a pattern together finding fish in 6 to 10 ft of water and boat over 750 fish this week with a lot of bonus whites, wipers and eyes mixed in. Red or black and chart sliders on an orange 1/8 oz jig head seemed to be the best bait bye far. Lots of great memories and so many great thumps.

Great post! Thanks!

Nice job! Awesome pictures

Nice. I wonder if next week will still be ok. I might bank fish a couple more times.

wtg nicko

Good Job Nick!! Thanks for sharing story and photos.

Good report, good pictures and good eatin.

I was out there Saturday all over the lake and got skunked. The winds were brutal following us all day. Maybe I need some lessons. Seems like all I did was burn fuel, myself and break stuff.

sounds like a great week of fishin get 2 freezers full in 1 week won't be as much pressure when ya don't have time to go??

Saturday was definatly a harder bite. Not as many keepers and very specific in what they wanted and depth. I think a lot of people we watched where fishing to shallow.

WTG!..... you guys are killing me , I was out at Clinton Friday and we did find some males on pea gravel banks on the south side but not the numbers that you found......what are your guiding fees?? :dono nice week of SPAWN fishing!

Agrd with Springhill! Last week at Clinton was great, I might just be done fishing the spawn, freezer is good and full! My best bait by far was a junebug colored TopSecret jig. Fished 2-8ft depending on what part of the lake I was fishing.

I had the pleasure of being on the lake with Nick this week. The smiles say it all. Thanks for posting.

The rough thumb is the real deal!

yeah I saw that didn't know if it were a lot of fishes or just thin skinned

LOL, good job Chatt!

Oh no Chatt, what did I miss??? :yikes

Lucky, Hair Vetch and I hit Clinton again last night. Full report on the outdoorsman but the bite has slowed some. I think the spawn in winding down on a good part of the lake after 2 weeks of great weather. Thanks to Hairy Vetch's idea we went a little deeper and found a pod of them that we didn't know would be there. Ended up cleaning 31 and enjoying a wonderful, all thought a little windy evening. Black and chart dragged along the bottom produced the best.

great post

Very Nice! Have tried dragging jigs on the bottom a little in my area this spring and usually produces but have had better luck suspending baits so far. Have started trying to use a drop shot technique also....

Nice job
