Launched at daylight and started catching fish on the very first spot we stopped on.
Caught good fish at each spot we stopped and burned through 4 doz minnows by 0900 then hit the marina in hopes they finally started keeping good ones. Bought another 4 doz of the best minnows I have ever been sold. Most were 3 inches and very strong. Looked at a few more spots with the SI that "should" hold fish and some did
, some didn't
. Pulled into the river and SI'd a couple of stacks that we didn't fish
. We saw a club member (sorry we didn't get your name) and stopped to look around and chat, he hadn't caught anything yesterday or yet today but we saw some fish on the SI so we started our routine and started landing fish pretty quick. Gave him some advice trying to help and saw him land several fish also. We ran out of minnows again and left the lake by 2:30 with them still biting. Good meeting you
.
A first for me today was a double hookup at the exact same time on my two 16' rods. One got netted the other jackpoled into the boat. Love those rods for their sensitive tip and backbone.
Caught 3 year classes of fish and kept all around 2 pounds or better, did keep one under 12" that swallowed the hook deep and bled out. Best bite by far was before the sun hit the water, once it did things slowed down a lot. Fish were from 12' to the bottom in 12' to 35' of water. Left the lake with
"limits" of very nice crappie.
