Today was one of the best days of fishing that I have ever had. Matt, Chris and I slaughtered Hybrids and White bass of Greers Ferry. A conservative estimate is that we caught 70 hybrids and 40 white bass. We also caught a few other species. Needless to say, I am wore out and my hands are tore up. I will let the pictures say the rest.

It is nice to finally return the favor. It's going to be a long day at work today.Quote:

Nice catch guys. Thanks for the post.
Nice fish in guys. Chris you got soup meat
Nice and plump fish. How do you fish for them
Good job Matt!
We had some insider knowledge that helped us catch the fish. We were discharging our nursery pond into the lake. When this happens the predators move in. We caught them white grubs casting into the current of the discharge pipe. We let it fall to the bottom and slow retrieve. At dusk, creek slicks spinner jigs were the go to. After dark the black roadrunner killed them. They were on the bottom eating crayfish that came out of the pond. They also had bellies full of bass from the pond. It is all about timing on that bite.Quote:

Way to get em boys. You were just defending your crop!
I sure hope y'all keep all of those nasty thing and did not put them back in the lake. Every pound of them you take out is room for another pound of crappie.
We only kept our limit. Even though we were collecting them for data, we figured that it would be best if we were within the legal limits. We were collecting them for age and growth data and documenting how many of the bass fry they were eating.Quote:
