Didn't get skunked but really thought it was gonna happen today to us. Tried Blood River first for a few hours and never had a bite. Then moved to Johnathan Creek and fished till 2 before heading out to get lunch. Came back the last 3 hours and finally caught a little white bass then lost a crappie a couple min later. Ended the night with 5 whites and a 11" crappie. Hoping we can get some bites in the morning. Gotta head home tomorrow afternoon
Fishin sets or spider riggin?
CX.
Nobody I've talked to is catching fish right now, I tried it a couple hours this morning two poling and got skunked. Don't remember another day I have seen so many people head back to the ramp as quick as this morning. It will get right but it is going to take a little time.

About like a choclate milkshake,you might be able to see a jig 1/2" under the surface, lots of trash in the water too.Quote:

We went across the lake yesterday and it was just a tad merky but was nothing compared to the rest we were in. Didn't cross over today bc of the white caps already rolling when we got thereQuote:

I have a report from a work buddy that he found a few whites (Monday) in 25-30ft with Ky rig minners ...DEEP In the brush ... Had to dig them out ...

We never had a issue finding fish. Just couldn't get them to bite. We was fishing mostly 15-20 foot of water. Should be going back down in 3 weeks so it should be a lot easierQuote:
