ill be in a red skeeter. if anyone is going to be out there tomorrow

Hey Sammy---Pool has lots of little bass, plus a fair amount of real "pigs" too. In a tournament, five keepers will generally put you in the money, if not win it sometimes. Look for the more typical crappie holes--brushpiles, pilings, etc. for the little ones.

Most of you big fish this time of year will be deep. Find the bait on structure (humps, roads, dams, deep brush, etc) and then fish a little deeper. The sandies own that zone right by the bait at most Joe Pool spots. I've found the LM hang a little deeper to dine on the scraps--and the sandies!

Good luck

hey thanks man i hope i can take the advice and go catch my wall hanger. (at least 7 pounds)

I have been on Joe Pool a couple of times a week lately. Last week I caught 3 between 6.5 and 7.5 lbs. They were all in 15 to 20 feet of water. I would like to fish in one of the tournaments, but I need a partner. PM me and maybe we can get together.

I do have pics of the fish.

any body here fishing the tournament this week???

I am heading to JP in a few hours. I have no idea what to throw. I guess I will t-rig a green pumpkin senko and search with a shad rattle trap. Anyone have any other suggestions????

Wait till about 8:00 and chase the sandies on points wirh a pop-r lol
thats what i did yesterday it was tough 4 me

Was on JP last Sun. Early am try cranking, a guy fishing the next point over from us stuck a 10, in a foot of water on a crank. We were'nt that lucky. After the sun came out, we went to splitshoting a green pumpkin fluke and did pretty well. Joe Pool holds some Toads, we've got two over 10 out of there.

does anyone know where to find the fish in the morning?

try fishing with us on sunday morning tourny starts at 7 i won the under with a 1.13 some of the same people that fish on wednesday lots of fun

im in the blue and silver stratos
