Beautiful day for fishing

Went to Horseshoe today with ole Hammerhead... scratched out a good mess of crappie fishing minnows around trees. Sorry for no crappie pics, but did catch a nice bass on a 5’ ultralite with 6 lb test with minnow under cork. Also caught a mallard hen coming off her nest in the trees and took photo of her eggs.
The AGFC is coming along with the new ramp. Its gonna be greatly appreciated

That's one heck of a fight on a light rod

Nice bass Randy glad you guys got to spend some time on the water. I heard the shoe has been pretty crowded lately. I think since the carp have taken over most of the oxbows, other lakes are getting a lot more pressure.

I saw the mallard best Saturday afternoon but couldn’t find a fish in there. Picked up 9 trolling outside the trees. I couldn’t find a crappie in the trees when I got in their out of the wind.

It was absolutely awful with people Saturday. Didn’t help that they were having a bass tournament. Had multiple bass rigs run across too close for comfort at 60+, along with a couple of boats trolling that came in and set down right in front of me, started fishing, and cut me off. Gotta love it. Just gotta grin and shake your head I guess. Made me remember why I much prefer fishing during the week. Fishing was tough, I finally found a few but the wind got bad and couldn’t keep the boat slow enough to stay on them.

I had pretty similar luck. Caught some trolling before the wind got too bad but when I went in the trees I couldn’t buy a bite. Probably didn’t help that there were boats everywhere where I went in.
