Anyone else been out the the 'vine lately. I have done ok but am having a hard time finding consistent fish.

the island is producing, if you can get a boat, kayak, tube etc out there

So have any of ya'll caught a Small mouth from the bank?? So far I have caught one Spot and mostly LMB but would also like to add smallie to the list as I have never caught one.

good luck catching one in a boat muchless from the bank. I have caught one and it was by the dam.

they have small mouth in that lake? Seems like that water would be way to hot for small mouth, then again what do I know

they stock smallies a few years ago, and how stocked them before that too

Been catching a few schooling bass from the various points in Murrell,starting to establish a pattern seems they start working bait about 7:30-7:45 and school for 30 mins or till they get their bellies full!Problem has been throwing into the wind when they venture out away from the shore,you can see them busting the water but just can't reach them.I had pretty good luck with a white rooster tail 1/4oz. and top water baits like chug-bugs and tiny torpedos! Most are lil dudes but a nice size fish will show up just to keep ya on your toes and keep ya coming back!

Any ideas on where a good place to fish might be, at the vine?
Going out this evening and would like to catch something this time,lol....Thanks
Kris

northside or southside?

north

I am not that good at the northside bank fishing, I will defer to the other guys.

points at twin coves, usually produce spots, blacks, and crappies.

north or south which produces better results

Alrighty guys I am back from Oklahoma..went out thursday and friday..caught em on worms..big was a 3.15... See yall out there!!!

Went out this morning and caught about seven and had 3 get off. It was one of my better outings so far. Caught 4 real quick first thing on top water and then changed spots and caught 3 more on some GB rattlesnakes. Here are the 2 biggest.

caught only 4 this evening but 2 were realy nice spots man the fight!!!!

Where you fishing at???

Really I was out there too Thursday and Friday. Caught a bunch and few big ones. One was about about that same size and another that was 2.8

Over on the Southside by Dove

Here's a suggestion. Even though I'm in a boat now I have been using 30# braid with at least one ounce lures. Little George, Tailspinners, etc. I can throw half way across the vine chasing sandies. This would work great from the bank too. Just don't let up coming back into shore or the fishsticks will bite it off. I learned from experience not to use mono doing this. The line will stretch thin and the lure will just keep on flying after a few dozen throws.

Caught 5 lmb's yesterday, going again this morning to see if the morning bite is any better when it is not 150 degrees outside hahah

WHERE AT

I am heading out there tomorrow morning, not sure exactly where yet. Still checking over my maps, as I have never fished GVine before. PM me if you have any secret spots you don't mind seeing someone else in once every month or so Or otherwise if anyone is going out, wouldn't mind company.

So...report from today

Started out about 5am, throwing some topwaters. After about 20 minutes of fighting my new fishing reel, finally got it dialed in. Promptly hooked into a 4.5 lber on a white buzzbait. Proceded to catch 2 more, somewhere between 2 and 3 lbs. Sun came up, boaters were everywhere, so I decided to relocate.

After figuring out my cryptic directions, I finally made it to the 2nd place on my list today. Started off tossing a white spinnerbait in some....sticks....and managed to catch 3 pretty quickly. They went from 1.5 - 3 lbs. Got tired of tossing the spinnerbait, switched over to some soft plastics. Caught 1 more, around 2 lbs on a brush hog.

Sun was getting hot and I was hungry, but I saw some "items" of interest, so decided to go over and fish them. After about 20 minutes I got a huge bite and set the hook on a monster. He immediately doubled my rod over, stripped line from my drag, and after about 30 seconds took off under one of the previously mentioned "items" and broke my line. There were a couple other guys there fishing....but none of us had any luck after that, so I came home.

Hope anyone else out there fishing this morning had as good or better luck than I did.

For His Glory

Sounds like you had a great day
