Bite slowed on Thomas Hill 3/23 thru 3/25

Good news no one was on the rocks or anywhere fishing when we arrived. Bad news no one was fishing as things have slowed way down here. Favorite dock 1 short fish where I had killed them month ago, so it went for next couple days. Finally turned on in 10 fow in brush around docks. I caught 8, bud 4 but very good size mostly 11 & 12 inch fish. Friday evening less only 5 but nice size
Rained half day and we hit Don's fish buffet instead. Rained all night but stopped before we got out. 5 early then we moved and it picked up. I caught 12 bud 2 again good size. Had to quit noon go to wake.

sorry everyone, pics wouldn't load forever and when they did they repeated. trying to edit them off but still trying to figure everything out. caught some very nice fish. double upside down ones were today. sideways one was friday and the ones with the upright fish in cup is thursday.

I'll fix it directly.

Looking good, I would rather have it slower and not all the people crowding around fishing. Not bad for a rainy weekend. Congrats

It was really crowded when you were there Mark. only a couple of boats and fishermen over 3 days, it was nice to have choices of where we could fish.

Way to go. But you gotta work on those pics. Anyone catching fish like that has gotta put a smile on.

How has the rain affected the lake? Has it come up any or dirtied up?

I would say it has come up a few inches at least and it has dirtied by my eye when I was out yesterday. Had to tell how much it has risen but i think it has a little. Don't know where to go to look to find an accurate level.

Great job!

My farmer neighbor just butt dialed me so I asked him how much rain last night and it was around another inch with more expected. that is super and will stain it more but needed to fill it up into brushy shore areas where the crappie like to spawn. it was pouring in when I left saturday. I will be able to tell you how much it rose when I see it next weekend.

Buddy and I fished up there Sunday and did really well on brushpiles in 14-20' of water. We kept our two limits and probably caught and released another. Also caught a bunch of small hybrids in the warm water arm in the evening. They were chasing shad.

My son was there this weekend with a bud who has a basstracker and they caught wipers and cats on worms, one crappie but then he has no clue as to how to fish the Hill. huge storm hit sunday morning before dawn and they didn't make it out, so rained hard couple of days during week and then again sunday. lot of water which is great, badly needed to get water up in brush.

I was there yesterday, I honked at you when I drove by your place. Water is about a foot higher than the last time I was there. Caught a limit off of brushpiles in between my bass fishing but it was not fast and furious

did you post a youtube video? saw that same scenario played out and catching hybrids in WW arm before dark? if you did, great video.

I will be there over the weekend, I have 2 bass tournaments. Hard to concentrate on bass when the crappie are biting.
