Thread: This Week's Fishing Reports

LB, Ron, etc all you weekly fishers how has the fishing been this week? Goin out in the morning for a few hours. Want to head somewhere different tomorrow as I have been on Pomona the past couple weekends.

Thinking about HD or Clinton. Anyone have any reports?

What is everyones weekend plans? I am going somewhere in the morning now that I fixed the "kill switch". Any reports or suggestions might would be greatly appreciated, might even be nice to meet some of ya. What you think this cooler weather is going to do for the fishing?

Chad, the last couple of weeks Hillsdale has been producing huge numbers of fish; you'll go through a 'lake-n-dale dozen' minners per hour. Of course, you still have to catch 15-20 to get a keeper like normal, but the action has been great. I don't know though how this cold front will affect them for the weekend. Good Luck wherever you end up!

not to get to personal or anything :D, but are a "tree dipper"? I have struggled at HD recently on the trees but I have only been using jigs, havent broke the out the minners yet.

Thanks Lucky....I think I will end up at HD most likely...Where you headed this weekend?

brettbran....minnows have made a difference for me lately...you catch a lot more dinks but it has produced more keeper fish for me lately too....

Yes. the brushier and gnarlier trees are better. And its been a minnow only bite for me. Doesn't matter if the minnow is alive, dead, or mangled, as long as you are dangling some 'meat' in front of them. But still I can't catch one on a jig to save my life. My props to those that can jig fish these summer crappie!

Lucky and I were out on Tuesday and probably caught b/w 75-100 and probably only had 8 keepers. Went through 5-6 dozen minnows and ran out. I hate using minnows, but it seems like that is what it takes right now.

Thanks again Lucky for going. Had a great time.

4-10 ft down on trees in 12-16 fow produced the most, but that is also where we spent the most time. We also caught fish on trees in 6 fow, too, just didn't work the shallows as hard.

Gonna hit HD in the morning Chad......
