Lake providence 6/14 for some R&D

Snuck off this morning to try some new jigs out.

Had plenty competition today. I don't reckon anyone works for a living anymore. I can vaguely remember a time when weekdays used to be crowd free fishing, those days are long gone....



Found some fish pitching jigs around laydowns, docks and old pier pilings about 5 ft deep. Color didn't seem to matter much, caught fish on a variety of colors.

Kept about a half limit with a couple cat perch and a big ole donkey headed goo for PPG....https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5ef8d30c6d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4e3597ddc0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3cd020ee0d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6e45ee9faf.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...318f116de8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...656948ee5e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...17577a1b2a.jpg

Good catch!

Man I haven't been there in years. Way to go 20

My friend and I delivered a trailer load of tomatoes and jalapeños there today to Providence Foods and wondered about that lake. It surely looks like you should be able to catch a few fish. One of the guys who helped us unload the trailer said that he had been catching them around the docks. Looks good. GTT

Nice catch twenty. Pretty water too!

Some people have all the time and some have all the luck, but you seem to have your share of both. Nice report and JR will be happy when he received the goo in a FEDEX box.
"gene"

You da man nice work thanks for sharing

There's been a lot of fish caught there the last two months.

I always thought it would be a good place to pull cranks. There's some 25' + water all along the hwy side of lake.

like me some bbq goo!!!!

Nice haul with the R&D.
Beautiful water.
I talked to my neighbor about a month ago and he had just gotten back from there on a fish catching expedition. Talked about fishing up and down a finger of the lake....
I wouldn't let him come back if I was you....

He did well?

I went first of March right after a front and didn't get a bite. Swore it off and said I'll never go back. I was too hard headed to go when I was hearing all the reports while back.

He cleans house.... wherever he goes.
Honestly.
Gotta be pushing 75 and the man can catch fish like it's going outta style.
Think of JR times 5

Stubborn as all get out though......

I remember when I first met him bf we were neighbors.
He pulled up next to me in my lil truck bed flat in one of my fav spots.
I say hello and he smiled. Asked if I was doing good....
Had two short fish in an hour on the top.
He smiled again.
He pulled twelve fish from under me in a matter of 10 mins.
Gotta love it.

X 5? He is a bad man....

In my lil town he is the man. Unless you ask the other man.
But ya know how that is.
Have had 3 opportunities to ride with him and have not been able to make any of em.
Family time is more important.
We throw insults from a distance....[emoji51]

I wldnt give up on the lake.
Your jigs look great by the way.

I'm thinking they need field testing first. I'd bet the gold sacs would bite em.

I bet they would. I have supreme confidence you could catch fish on most anything though so it wouldn't be much of a test for you.. ... [emoji39] [emoji39] [emoji39]

The meat is really firm and is easy to turn on the grill.

Great looking jigs, I think the fish agreed. That green water color is nice also.

20watt, how do you get your tails straight like that? What is the type of feather you use? My SWNH usually has a curl to it.

Great catch Jimmy. Congratulations! Great looking jigs also. I haven't tried feathers yet. Too hard headed to try something other than hair I guess. :banghead :biggrin
