That's OK man I know what size fish I have been catching. Forgot to post my last trip too. Went on Monday with my sis and her boyfriend and fished until about 1. First spot started slow at sunrise, almost went elsewhere when they started boiling all over. Caught lots of fish until around 10 the shallow bank bite died. We could still see 'em out in the deeper water but couldn't reach without a boat. It was hard, but we left to another spot I know they like in the afternoon. No boiling at the new spot but they were there, the bite was lighter, but they were big! Was still catching fish at 1 when I left. Filled a very thankful man's stringer with magnums before I left with a sunburn. Glad to have another good day because I know the spring bite won't last forever. Gotta work tomorrow but I'll be out Friday for sure!

I haven't fished Stewart's Creek this year but I'll bet they are there. I don't have an annual pass and have too many other spots that are free. Tomorrow is looking good with some decent winds and some clouds. The wind should change from south to north afternoon and may change the fishing a bit, but I should be ready to head home by then. Bet they will be hungry...

Well I hope everyone did better than I did this morning. Got to my first spot and there were guys fishing with about 15 poles out on my point so I drove to spot #2. Only got 10 fish with 5 sandies and 5 dinky hybrids. All fish were released. The highlight of the morning was when I was catching bait. I was wading around and found myself in a large school of big buffalo! They were so thick they were brushing against my legs while I was walking! They are a blast to catch so maybe next slow day I'll see if I can battle a few of these.

I went out this morning to the blown up dam. Got there a little late, about 10:30 am. There were a few guys with about 7-10 poles in the water. I fished a little ways off of them, never got anything and did see them catch anything either. Fished for a good 2 hours. There were fish jumping around us, but no excitement on the poles. I think if I would have got there earlier, I probably would have caught some.

i was in a pontoon boat this morning in the cove by the old lake dam cut. saw lots of guys out there but they were throwing as far as they could into the lake. i was fishing for cats but the sandies and hybrids were running me out, i was throwing as close as i could to the bank. you guys might think about fishing a little closer to shore when the shad sre running like they are now.

That is some sound advice Tom. Most of the time all I use is a little split shot on 6 lb test to catch them this time of year. No need to launch the bait 50 yards. Oh yeah, and thanks for offering me some shad the other day! Didn't know who you were until I saw Gravley on the back of your truck. Thinking about heading out today. Hope the weather doesn't shut the bite off. Will post if I go.

Well, no fishing today. Got to the lake and my favorite Fenwick rod had snapped in the back of my truck from everything rolling around. It was the only one I brought so had to go back home. That wind is kickin' out there! Birds were stacked heavily on the points feeding. At least the birds caught some fish today. Maybe next time...

That sucks about your rod man. Looks like we are both in the market for a new rod now. I went to a fishing tournament once and somebody came in the night and stole all the rods from people's trucks and boats! Mine were luckily in the hotel room with me because I was putting new line on 'em. Guys were out fishing with zebcos and shakespeares they bought at the bait shops!
