I told everybody that I would get you a fishing report on Wednesday or Thursday.
I lied. Its Friday and here I am. But you are not going to want to hear
it. Fished Dan and had a decent day on Wednesday. We had 25. All of them good fish, some in the 2 1/2
range. Fished Mike on Thursday and had 53.Fished Mike on Friday and had 7. The fish we caught were
deep. I tried everything that I knew to try today and nothing would work except chartreuse
dynamite. I didn't mark 2 fish all day. Which tells me that they are very shallow, which I tried, or right on the
bottom. The fish I caught were right on the bottom. I cannot believe we are having this conversation over 7 fish!! Bubble Gum and green seem to be the
color. The fish I caught came out of 8 feet of water or better. I am not really used to "flapping" but I am today.
BASS: I caught more bass today than I did crappie. Bass were concentrated in about 6 feet of water off
points. At one time today I had 9 rods out with 9 bass on at one time. The biggest one weighed about 7lbs.I may give up crappie fishing and start guiding for
bass. The bass also seem to like the bubble gum jig. The bass were in 55 degree water surface temp.
STRIPE: Stripes are hot and heavy. Using hyper-striper trolling out of Bay
Springs. Also the Hawg's Den. Saw a 30+ today.
CATFISH: Come & Get all you want, especially up river in the Riverside area.
This has been the worst spring that I have ever seen! It has got to get better because it can't get much
worse. Our weather and water all winter has been the strangest here that I have ever
seen. I am saying my prayers to the fishing Gods that all will smooth out and go back to our normal. Lets all hope so! Thanks,
Sincerely, Steve
