Attachment 234020 Headed down through the swamp into Big Chippewa this morning. Started fishing around 8:30 pushing minnows and jigs in 9 ft of water. Caught 11 nice keepers and 6 shorts by 10:00 and the wind really picked up and the fish shut down. I gave it up around 11:15 and headed back out. They only wanted minners this morning and all fish still full of eggs. Water was 67 and not to dirty considering where I was at. Forcast calls for it to go back on the rise again. Attachment 234023
Nice job my friend
Tony, you better enjoy it now.The Tombigbee is about to get above flood stage again. Tough year for high water!
:banghead That was the first fish this year for me. Maybe I'll start fishing the backwater for catsQuote:

Yes sir we did . Caught a bunch of fish under 9" on jigs and minnows.
Better days are coming if the water gets right. Did y'all see any nats yesterday :RoflQuote:

I went Tuesday to Alligator lake and the gnats were biting a lots better than the fish. Caught a good many, but most were 9 to 9.5 inches and I don't usually keep them unless they are over 10". I had 4 keepers and let them go when I left. The best thing for the gnats that I have found is vanilla flavoring or medicated Vaseline and if you want to get really serious mix the two together to make a paste.
Where is alligator lake?
Just north of I65 off Middle River
