Back is healing and let me fish the shoreline for a few hours. First time on this body of water and it turned loose a few dozen fish.

2 different jig patterns. Chartreuse with clear black legs and white, chartreuse.
Both fished under a cork about a 2 1/2 feet.

Good job my man. That one crappie has it's stripes on wrong or something.
Yeah, he was confused on which crowd he was hanging out with today! 😀 There was more than a few of those.
They have Yellow Bass there ? Glad we don't have any on Nimrod .:biggrin
Nice job.
Feel free to NOT throw any yellow bass you catch back into the lake (if your not going to eat it). They are considered a nuesance species and they are spreading like wild fire in our lakes. I don't normally encourage people to waste fish but it's not wasting them if you fertilize the garden with them.[emoji2]
I'll put a bucket in the Jeep for any future trips. Thanks Matt.
Thanks Fred. If you keep any of those black crappie from there, let me know. I would like to retrieve the otoliths from the fish to see if they were stocked or not.
Done.
Glad to hear you got to fish while still recovering!
The itch was just too much, JST!
I got out on Coronado Saturday afternoon. Starting raining about the time I started the boat.
Hooked one one fish that got off before I got it to the boat.
I I think you'll catch a lot more fish over there.
I must have pulled a dozen or two yellow bass just like the one in your second picture out of Beaverfork back in the fall. They were prolific in spots, you'd find a school of them and you could sit there cast after cast catching them for what seemed like hours at a time.
At first it was entertaining, a fish on every cast, but then after a while you'd get so many I started to wonder if they were detrimental to the lake.
Good catch. Thanks for the update.
It would be a blast for kids of any age and sounds like good for the lake. I know when I sat on top of them several times it was non-stop action - pink, chartreuse, under a slip bobber, on a Roadrunner, it didn't matter, they were all over anything I dropped down there. Little buggers were beginning to annoy me when they started ripping the skirts off my jigs.
