Fishing still good but average size has been smaller . Most jig bites have been light lately , everywhere I have fished . No minners harmed as usual , just purple/chartreuse jigs on a red Todd Huckabee jig pole .Caught plenty today just no slabs . Get out early before the water lice and it gets too hot . Best part of summer is less traffic on most lakes during the week. :biggrin
We did really well on your home lake last weekend. It was pleanty warm for sure! Attachment 306786

Up grading trolling motor on my Champ having to change everything out waiting on plug in should be ready by Monday.Good catch.Fishing a big lake out of my 16-48 alumi craft,finding them is tough if you can find them game on.Have been getting off when the lake lice run me off.
I've been braving the heat early in the mornings and quitting by around 11 a.m. Size is down as water temps are up, 85.6 degrees yesterday. Dad and I have been going about twice a week to White Oak the past couple of weeks and our last four trips numbered 9, 12, 6, and 8 yesterday. I took 2 dozen minnows yesterday just to see the cork go under and the little 4-6" bass sure knocked it under! I got my wish, but not many fish to show for it. Of our 8 that we kept, I caught 5 on minnows and Dad caught 3 on jigs. Not much size to report since our very good day that I posted a thread about back on May 30.
My friend is camping at Greeson this week and he's not doing much over there. He said he kept and cleaned 5 yesterday for his and his wife's supper last night. He did say that bass were schooling also. GTT

Nice!
I'm out until mid September. Spend the summer canning and putting up enough stuff to last me until next September.
I am trying to get some boat issues fixed and plan to fish on July 4th. Time to fish is very limited this year for me.

We caught a limit on Norfork this morning, but we had to work for our last 5-6 fish after the sun got up. They all but shut off once it got bright. Going to try and beat the heat and the ski boats in the morning and get out even earlier.

I went yesterday morning and messed around till about 2. Just more or less trying different things. Brought home ten keepers. Caught just as many bass but I cheated on some of them. They were feeding and jumping out of the water so I used my throw net just to see what would happen.

Fished today but was slower . We caught a mess but not nearly as good . Could mark good numbers on cover but catch one or two then had to move on .:dono Guess that is fishing . Pays to have lots of spots sometimes .:twocents
I'm only fishing about a day a week. New house has me busy (I should say the wife has me busy). About to get lined out and get after em the rest of the summer. Already have the umbrella in the truck. That's all a fisherman needs to brave the heat!
Me and the nephew caught 29 today but they were all fairly small. Fishing an old oxbow just trolling down the center of it.
A buddy and I went today. Very slow and almost non-existent. This tree here produced a few bites and not a single fish.
I been seeing some stumps and stake beds looking like that . But figured they must not all be crappie . Caught my limit last few mornings . Staying close to home and going for Catfish in the morning with a good friend .Quote:

Want to at least try it and see if it produces any better.
Then don't give up , fishing when most say it is tough will make you a better fisherman . :twocentsQuote:
