change of plans....golfing instead today

the fishing has changed the last few days .been more looking than catching,lots of bait on east side but the fish arent following ,late eve. was the best but not now.but it has been very nice weather out there.turkeys arent helping either.

Hi Pat,
Just sent PM to you. Thanks

Catfish are biting good! lol caught 15 fish over 10#s,, The sandbass have decided to stay in hiding till late afternoon. Birds are very deceiving, hovering over baitfish all day but no sandies chasing them. Hybrids seem to be in the trees hiding also. Fish are getting ready to spawn. I caught one the other day that looked like it was about to explode.
We sat under the birds for a while castneting for bait and we have a healthy population of shad mixed in with baby sandbass! Gotta be real careful, I had to pick through tons of bait to find the sandbass and release them. All released survived. Heres a pic

what a monster!

Thanks for the fishing updates sassyman Doug and Sharp! The next few days is looking good. Had the AC on today driving home from work. I'll take that for January Got Friday off but got lower back pain issues so can't fish but will enjoy the reports instead. Doh!

Reports from today???

Golfing was good but I'm dying to know if I made the right decision to golf instead of fish....

Well we looked hard for that drone but never could find it. Never even graphed anything that looked like it. We drug and and drug in the areas that we thought it might be but no luck.

fishing was terrible not even a bite

Hi Doug,
You are right. Yesterday, I went out with my fishing friends and there is no single bite. It is so slow. I wonder where fish gone?

I caught a pound and a half large mouth bass while I was dragging the bottom with a treble hook. The fish but it and had it in its mouth. A bare treble hook. Lol

saw lots of birds, marked tons of bait, but didn't see any fish. Wasn't really fishing for sandies but was wondering how they were biting since I saw a few boats out yesterday. Was also slow for black bass...but caught 1 4lber.

We looked all over the south end east and west and found lots of bait but no fish with them. We caught one gasper goo. Went in early and wore the Big Crappie out at the slip. Best day of the year for big Crappie.
Today I didn't even take the boat out. The Crappie was a lot slower, It would have been hard to top yesterday.

Wonder where all the white bass went... market bait and fish towards the 30 rocks in about 18-20ft. Not sure if it was white bass since i was fishing for black bass.

If it makes you feel any better, I lost a 2k$ 36v riptide Ipilot to mother Hubbard several years ago. I made me a big grappling hook out of re bar and drug the area for an hr. All I got back was a gallon worth of lures. LOL.
