Gibbons Creek is on Fire

30 to 60 bass per day has been the norn lately with a lot of fish over 7 lbs are being caught. Lilly Pads, Lilly pads, Lilly Pads thats were the fish are.
Frogs are not working very good yet as it has not really been hot enough yet. Use a dark worm with at least 20 lb flo line and a 1/4 weight and you will be able to have one of your best days.

shhhhhhhhh

Fished 2 hours this morning and had all the good spots to myself. Boated about 20 up to 5 lbs. Could not land the big ones had a couple on that had there way with me in the pads. Had to leave them biting to get back to work but was a great moring never the less.

Wow...that's a lot of bass.

Must be a morning thing. Got there after lunch and fished until 7:30. There were fish in the pads but they would not even look at a worm, senko, fluke, etc... They would occasionally come up and hit at a hollow frog but were not eating it. Caught 5 but 3 were on square bill. Talked to several others who had same afternoon. At 6:30 everything shut off totally and it went from not great to terrible real fast. Should have stuck with good old Fayette!

This was my experience on Friday anyway.

Bite was on again this morning. Just talked to a buddy that started at first light and by noon he had well over 30 bass with the largest being 10.6 on a digital scale that was 27.5 inches long. He also had another over 7, Now this is his report but he has been catching then on the same pattern I have and using the same baits.

The only thing on fire at Gibbons today was my behind against a sun lit boat seat as I motored from spot to spot looking for a bite.

only hot in the early morning... after that you have to be lucky or good

I caught about 8 this morning so it definitely was not on fire for me. Caught almost all of them by 9 am. My biggest was 3.5 lbs. Wind was howling. Lake is completely full now.

I also went Saturday. Totally sucked. Waste of time.

Keep posting these internet bragging reports and maybe we can get the lake more crowded. There is nothing more enjoyable than tons of fishermen on a lake that is maybe 1200 fishable acres in the summer.

I fished for a few hours after the storm passed this morning. Immediately after the storm passed there was no wind...water was like glass. Maybe the first time I've seen that at Gibbons! I haven't seen the lake this full since 2007. I caught a couple of bass and a freshwater drum on a square bill crank bait. All fish were pretty small. It was really fun to get on the water.

we fished it Saturday from first light to around noon as well to get ready for our club tourny in a couple weeks. We ended the day with 16 fish between me and my partner. Biggest was 5lbs and we had three of those type fish. The rest were around 2-4 lbs. Not a great day but we did find some decent fish.

And where did you find them Bo???

They were all caught in Gibbons Phil, Bwahahahahaha

I don't understand why people get so pissy about posting a report? We have report sections for a reason. He didn't post GPS coordinates....he posted a report saying the bite is good.


TFTR

Thanks for the support Chris, I am fishing this Friday and would post a truthful report just like last time if I did not think I would get bashed over it and have fellow fishermen saying the post was worthless.

Tmac, post all the reports you want to. There will always be atleast one complainer in the bunch.

And there will always be people that do not believe the power of the internet and the amount of fishing pressure it can bring to a lake.

WWAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!

Is that your boat out there one knocker,loo. I might recongnize a few of those boats. How old is that picture. Thats a good community hole. We will be bringing around 10 to 12 boats next weekend for our club tourny just so you know. Fair warning. lol

Is that a joke?? You know my lil boat is too small to show up in that pic!!! Bahahahahahaha

haha,
I thought it looked like some of our club boats but the lake looks to full in that picture. It was very low two years ago. Glad it back to full pool.

There are a lot of pads out there. Try the Maxi or Always.

Oh. Lilly pads. Never mind.
