Anyone know if they spawned yet? I have fished st least twice a week
the last three weeks in the Gumlog creek area and while I will
catxh one, it takes me like two hours to catch them. Of course, water is low and I use minnows. I don't have a boat and only do shore fishing.. Thanks
i fished Lake Blackshear and most was caught on jigs chartreuse light green chartreuse they were around trees in the shallow . haven't cleaned them yet but think they were all males .i know some were caught in the trees in the back of creeks that were cleaned Sat. had eggs in them .
Thanks . Not familiar with that lakeQuote:

I caught a good mess of fish in gum Log creek last week, trolling jigs. Fish were shallow in water column, had to put corks on lines in order to fish shallow enough. I would say some of the fish will bed this full moon.

That should do it
So blk and chartreuse should be good? Minnows? How deepQuote:

Two people in a boat fishing what looked to be a roadrunner jig did decent and two other bank fishing men were pulling them in on minnows left and right. Not sure what I did wrong but am going to try and go back this evening and this time go back and use the medium minnows! I am glad those other people were doing good.
some times you can move 2 Ft and start catching . that is why i shoot docks a lot i will try all angles and depth . some times you go to a lighter jig color and speed .

I went yesterday and it was slow. Caught one. It was not a keeper. I had some other bites, all on minnows, one foot down. The keeper was caught on an organ explosion and chartreuse jig. ThanksQuote:
