Only one Keeper but it's a good start for the weekend. Caught it using a Crappie Jig and Slab Rig. Lost the Sabiki Rig for White Bass Rig to a snag. No worries... made do with what we had and was able to get a number of undersized fish to strike. Even had one Catfish go for a Crappie Jig! Fun stuff! Today's Video

Fished Lavonia Saturday morning... Undersized White Bass were the case save for one. Later, started working one area by jigging the rigs on the bottom; caught more undersized White Bass and several Yellow Bass.

Ended the trip with one White Bass and five Yellow Bass! Fun stuff! Today's Video.

Headed to Brockdale in the morning. Hoping that I can get on some sandies from the kayak.

Hope Brockdale produced for you BankBassin! Went to Tickey Creek Sunday morning. Water was calm with minimal wind. Action was slow compared to Saturday but did get a few bites! Fun stuff with a good workout to boot!
Sunday's Video.

Took my kayak over to clear lake park today. Got a late start at 10am but did have an awesome day though. Always fun to take out the kayak. I paddled all the way around the island. I caught some small LMB in the area between the island and the main land. Found the sandies just off the south east point of the island, had them boiling around me, all little fish. But as I was slabbing I did get something unexpected....

Unfortunately I can't take credit for a catch since it was tail snagged..... but it did put up an awesome fight.
If I had to guess, I'd say it was between 5-7 lbs. good to know they are there though!




Thats a channel cat and 2 decent sandies I hooked today.

Here's one of the small LMB I was catching along with the small sandies and yellows in the area.

I know I'm a little late to the party on this, but I went out on sunday to Lavon in my kayak. I put in a Brockdale and fished the point and straight out from the ramp into the deeper water. The deepest I got into that I saw was 17ft. I must have caught about 40+ from 7:30-11:30. At about 11 they are started to school up big time and were blowing up the surface all over the place. I was even catching some small ones only about 20 yards from the bank. It was fun catching 2-3 at a time. No keepers though.





This guy knocked my jig off but still managed to hook himself on the clasp.

I'm looking at maybe Tuesday morning. I'm thinking to pay the $4 and launch at North Lavonia. Wind is showing to be out of the east for that day for now, we'll see if that changes.

Dang Kris. Looks like a fun day regardless of size. Don't think I've ever seen a fish caught with the clasp only.

Great pics and report; they may be undersized but sure are fun to catch!

I was there yesterday in a buddy's power boat, the island produced all our keepers some on slabs from 14-20 ft and some came on trolling bandits in 16-20 ft. We were using chrome blue and chrome citrus shad and produced more keepers trolling.

I'll hopefully be heading over to North Lavonia in the morning. Gonna try out a folding net that I bought. Should be fun.

Update from last Tuesday
Lavonia and Wednesday at Clear Lake. Had better luck at North Lavonia gladly paid the $4 to launch there. No boat traffic at the ramp and closer to where I wanted to fish as well. Was slow at first but ended up finding them in 25ft of water after the rain. Also got to try out the net I picked up for $13 at walmart. It worked great.





Caught tons of small sandies and yellow bass doubles on the tandem rig while trolling.

And finally last Wednesday I went back to Lavon this time to Clear Lake park. Planned to fish the point off the island. It was quiet for bit and then I was drifting along when a big sandie hit one of the crappie jigs on my trolling setup. After that I was catching fish on both rods at the same time, and decent size, no small fish other than one yellow bass that was decent size for a yellow. This lasted about 10-15 min. at the most and it was like they disappeared, I never found them again after that. Ended up checking some other points north of there with no luck except a yellow bass here an there. So I fished the willow trees in the cove by the ramp and caught some small LMB before I called it a day.


This was a yellow that hit a big deep diving crank.

First one to the party! Took the road runner.



I was in a hurry here as there was another fish on my other rod.

I'm planning to be at North Lavonia in the morning to chase after some sandies again. Anyone is welcome to join if they are off work. I should be there sometime between 8:30 and 9:30.

Made it out to Lavon yesterday launched from North Lavonia park. I saw birds working the area known as Hybrid point so I headed in that direction fast. As soon as I got close my fish finder lit up in 21fow and the action was serious! I had a rod out for trolling and it went down as I was hooking up on a slab. The action was steady for an hour lots of keeper size fish 12-14.5".... fish were boiling on the surface as far as the point to half way back to the cove, it was by far the best day I have ever experienced on Lavon or any where for that matter. It slowed down between 11:30 and 12:30 so I explored the little cove. When I paddled back out of the cove the fish were right there in 12-15 ft as soon as I paddled in to the school I was hooked up on both rods had 2 fish on my slabbing setup and one on my trolling rod and it stayed that way until I left at 2:30.... left them biting as I had things to do that day. Caught over 100 fish yeaterday.... my shoulder and elbow hate me today. I got some pics and video. I need to put the video on you tube.....and edit for my excited language roflmao

Good view of my fish finder screen from yesterday here too! It was nearly blacked out with fish streaks.




This was a nice double... couple of 13" fish.




Had a little channel cat that joined the party. Had a blue cat once too but it got off at the boat.


I had to stop taking pics after a while just too many..... I caught at least 30 keeper sized fish. But I released everything I caught. The fish were in beast mode had several rip drag off on my trolling rod when they hit and turn the kayak hard left. Caught a few that towed me a little. Had a blast and now I'm ready to go back..... when my elbow and shoulder forgive me. roflmao
