Gary I think we need to trade baits. Caught this while fishing for crappie using 1/16 oz hair jig.Quote:

They were last week but on Thursday they had started to move out to deeper water and harder to get with the throw net. Going today but also bringing frozen shad as a back up.

Yesterday morning I saw some around the west boat ramps but not much anywhere else.
Thanks guys! Thats what I was hoping to hear. At least it will give me confidence to go chase the crappie at Clinton again! Getting tired of the scenery at Perry! Wont complain about the fishing tho....

We did not make it up there, Went to Dragoon instead, struck out. Dragoon full of shad but not much else caught two white bass
Gary, How did you do?
Not bad, the wipers were mainly small and in very small groups. The shad were everywhere and I think that since there is so much food that is why they are scattered. Saw big groups of gulls diving in the water and motoring through them with the trolling motor and the shad balls were giant but no fish at all around them.Quote:

Did catch 2 blind white bass pitching jigs to the banks and slow retreive. Tried drifting a shad behind the boat but no takers.
