motticello was not to good to me i caught 3 an A 2 dozen 4'' bass
It was a great day to be out on the water, and a great day for the fish because they didn't go home with me. Didn't do any good on CC, but really didn't expect to after all the rain we've had. Hope everyone else did better. Let's hear some reports.
I fished today at home on mound lake. I started today about 845, and finished up around 430. I caught about 60 crappie total, but 45 of them were 7-8 inches, and didn't keep them. There is a lot of truth to crappie taking over a lake if they aren't culled out. I kept these 17. Biggest 1 was about 12 inches, and I kept some 9'ers.

Nice catch Randy,what a great day.
I hope so, beginning to lose confidence. I'm really looking forward to Larto.Quote:

figured I would share my strategies today. We finally got our lake up about a foot from a couple of weeks ago. I was wondering if it would ever come up. For those who don't know, our lake almost dried up this year. We had a relift pump on it for 2+months, and it only kept up with evaporation. I used some feather jigs; never used them before, but a buddy spanked my tail a couple of weeks ago. I usually use those little swim baits or the standard roadrunner/black/chartreuse tube. I fished on the north bank of our lake in about 3 feet of real stained water, on the outside of buck-brush that surrounds our lake. I caught the majority of these little shorties on the thinner stickups of buck brush with a tight-lined feather jig. Here is the colors I used today.

I used the white/black in the morning, and switched to the green/chartreuse in the afternoon.
I only had about 18" of line out on the end of my 9' fly rod. I used clear 10 lb. test line also. All of my fish came on the north side of this oxbow lake. No fish came off any cypress trees. They were looking for the sun next to this sparse cover. Water temp was around 48 degrees. I am real excited about our lake filling back up. We went for an entire year with me barely being able to use my good crappie rig. I can finally get up to the brush without stirring up mud & spooking any chance of catching fish. I don't know what the rain will do to these fish tonite if we get a lot. If we do, I'll just thank god that the lake is still coming up.
Nice catch Randy.
I got skunked today myself. The water was muddy and low. I trolled jigs and everybody I saw was catching them on minnows. 'll get me some in the rain in the morning with minnows :eek:
Nice catch for sure Randy. Isn't mound lake a private lake? Must be nice to have em all to yourself. (However, I have a friend and lives on the lake as well, so might have to give him a buzz. :D )
you should call him up. We got another inch of rain last night, & the lake came up another couple of inches. Water is still coming in from a little creek. Gooch, I didn't spend a lot of money on gas. just around the corner, launch the boat. I didn't even start my motor till i came in for lunch, either. It is why I like to fish at home most of the time. I came in for a sandwich for lunch yesterday, watched a fishing show that I recorded on my TIVO, and then went back out & fished some more. Thats better than the catch of the day is.
