well the slabs are starting to show up in the shoreline brush guys, still mostly dinks though. starting my fall pattern early, dangeling and pitching curly tails in the deep stumps. the cool nights mite make them kick it into overdrive! anyone else getting the bigger ones lately? im talking 12in.+

Are you starting to get them out of Cedarville yet? Been thinking about putting in there and giving it a shot!

yeah thats about the only place i crapy fish bro. getting alot of pressure from the gas prices it seams, though. we will see this fall how it has effected the population.

I hear you there. I see a lot of boats parked down there every weekend, and most of them aren't Bass rigs. Hopefully ther is som Catch n Release going on.

i highly doubt that there is any release going on. most crapy fishermen dont get the concept of selective harvest! i only keep a few a year myself and nothing over 14" or under 12". it is a river and does have a advisory, but some people are ignorant to that too!!!!! drop me a line sometime and you can jump in my boat and ill tune you in.

Do you usually fish during the week, or on the weekends?

im self employed so i fish both. usually morning or evening, for a few hours. they are hit and miss the last few weeks but getting better. drop me a pm when you want to give them toxic slabs a try and we will set something up.
