Twain - One of Those Days Report*

Or should I say, one of those weeks.

Made the voyage to the cabin last week for a few days of fishing...... conditions were tough and considering MTL is a finicky lake at her core, fronts, rain, wind and fluctuating lake levels don't make it any easier. We managed to punch out a few limits the first part of the week, nothing spectacular in size but decent fish. We rigged, we dipped and even pulled cranks for a day, all resulting in mediocre results but results nonetheless.

Thursday was our last day on the water and we finally had some sunshine and variable winds so I said, WTH, let's go exploring.

45 minute boat ride (half idling) up the river and landed on fish.....BIG fish (especially for Twain). Buddy and I ended w/ 20 over 12", 15 at 13"+ and a smattering of 10's.

Felt somewhat vindicated after days of lackluster results.

Now it's time for summertime CRANKIN!

U

I dropped a 20 at the cleaning station, have you seen it?

Nice Work!

Awesome day. Think we are heading up this weekend. I'm sure this cold front won't help. Can't catch them on the couch

Way to stick with it. Now Go get your crank on!!!

Nice catch. Thanks for the report and the pictures.

Now those are some nice fish.

Great shot of some nice fish. How do you keep that boat so clean with out having tackle boxes and poles laying on the floor.

I fished Sunday and Monday had 7 keepers in two days. Caught two 13" females in the same spot that were spewing out egg,lots of dinks. The lake raised a foot Sunday night.

Organization.........I can't stand stepping all over stuff. We also pulled the cranking and rigging rods out as this was the last gasp attempt and only needed jiggin sticks.

Nice!!!

Redemption is sweet! Any idea when the next road trip might happen?

Wow those are some pigs!!!!

Robbie was waiting for a report great to hear from you and look forward to next possible outing.

That's some pretty good fishing and size fish...water looked muddy

Nice job

Gotta let the dust settle on this one but I'm thinking mid-late June when it's getting hot and the fish are primed for crankin!

We call that the "Twain Stain". Just short of being able to plant corn in it....... we love muddy water.

Well done! Glad you got into them.

Were they holding on pole timber or hugging the bottom? They usually seem to have to relate to something when the water is that muddy.

Sidescan is a beautiful thing...... we caught a TON of fish pitching to submerged brush/stickups that you couldn't see.

Outstanding report. Thanks for the info. Congrats on the great catch.
