    Default Lake Prince 2-21-16


    My buddy and I fished a bass tournament on Prince Saturday. To say we struggled was an understatement. However, I did get this fish on a silver buddy and lost one that looked just like it.



    This fished weighed 1.81 lbs. We decided to return today to try and find some similar. We ended up catching 12, of which only two were less than 1 lb. (15 oz.). We had two at 1.5 lbs., three at 1.4 lbs. and the others were all about 1.25 lbs. All fish were caught on a drop shot rig with nightcrawlers. We tossed jigs for some time and Tim caught the only fish on a BGBS in cajun cricket, a keeper yellow perch. We tried that area for some time, but no luck with any other YPs, so we returned to the 'crackers.

    We certainly did not get numbers, but we had fun and had a good size to our catch. Surface temp was 48.5 when we left and the fish came out of 3-5 FOW.

    Not sure what is going on, but I can't get photos to post, so I'm going to hit submit and figure out what is going on. Hope to have it straight later.

    Strange, one photo posted. So, I'll try another and see how it works. The above fish was the one I caught Saturday.

    Sorry, never had an issue posting photos, but now I'm stumped. Hope to have more to follow at some point. It's time to stop posting nothing.

    Great catch Mr Kevin! You showed me your catch earlier today. I was shocked by the size of shellcrackers! Way to go!

    That's a tank Kevin. Didn't know the shell crackers were that shallow. I marked crappie all day today in 16-18 foot of water but didn't get one bite. Burnt Mills Lake, 44 degree water temp.

    I'm going to try to post a couple more pics. Blue Steel, we didn't realize the depth either. The two from Saturday were 10'.
