Hell yeah buddy!

Anyone know where the water diverter switch is??? Was going to send some to El Cap!!

We actually fished the dirt walking path around the lake beneath the paved path.

Heard there were busters so off I went. Nothing busting, then Dan (Dannicus) showed up and flipped a switch. They were on big balls of bait. I watch Dan catch them on top water. I was throwing a flash J, topwater, my first was my biggest 4.19lbs. I took some pics of what was going on under the water ...

Nice job! Maybe I'm a good luck charm. I watched you nail them on topwater. I was stubborn and wanted the TR to work but only 2 on it. Funny thing the points that usually have fish all over then were bare waste lands. Fish were chasing bait and the bait was big.

Sorry, late quick post after a long day in the heat. We ended up with 16 fish (2 of us), largest being 2.9#. All were caught on various senkos on various techniques in various colors. We tried the flooded tules all over the lake with jigs, fat IKA and some worms but nothing. Even tossed some frogs ...

Dan is busy getting ready for Sunday!

Man that was so much fun. Jig, Neko, Thin Senko, Zoom Lizard, and Free Rig all got them for me with the Jig and Free Rig doing the heaviest lifting. It was awesome to see and fish with everybody again this year.

Dan, that 6.9 catch was awesome. What a way to start the day eh?

Can’t wait for next ...

It’s crazy to look at the calendar and realize that we aren’t that far away from opening day. Gotta start making some tough PTO decisions. Spend a few hours now, or save it for Barrett?

Stoked you all got to have an awesome day out there!

Topwater in March, must be a heatwave....

Hi all,

I've been slacking on the fish reports over the past few weeks, but I've been out there and have had some solid days on the water. I got out to Cap yesterday and continued working on finding the spring pattern. I was on the water at about 7:00 a.m. with the plan to fish the hot spots that I ...

I fished Murray on Monday and found a pattern I wasn't expecting. After hearing rumors of topwater and shallow action the last couple weeks, I was expecting a fish bonanza yesterday! Well...not quite what I was expecting! I did end up with 12 fish, but it felt very much like a weird postspawn day ...

The lake level has fluctuated up and down just since me fishing there on Friday. I went over to the lake on Saturday afternoon
and the water rose a few feet higher than Friday. I went over today and after talking to you on their boat ramp yesterday, and
the water level went down more than a few ...

So you are saying there are shad?
Thanks for the report!

Went on a Tuesday, Not the norm. I was up ducted by aliens and lost time in the morning. Got up at 6 and didn't start fishing until just before 10. I lost some time! Had to be aliens. Anyways started with topwater for nothing Duh almost noon. Had a fire helicopter practicing picking up water and ...

We definitely saw shad and fry. One bass coughed up a nice, healthy shad during the fight. Easily a fat 2” model. I can neither confirm nor deny the thought of putting it on a hook was had LOL. We did not see any boils mid lake though.
