Thread: 24 this morning

Got to the lake about 6:30 and left at 10:30 with 24, not a lot of big ones, largest was 15", about 8 over 12". Started in 10-11 FOW where we had caught a lot last time out and nothing but 2 6" fish and it being a bluebird day I sure felt like we should go deeper but went the other way and started to pick up some fish, best depth was 6-8 FOW. Bite was light and at first they wanted a horsehead jig but about 8:30 that was over and a pink body plain jig head seemed best. They never did get back on the electric chicken. Water temp had dropped to 71 degrees and we caught 9 males with their spawning colors on, didn't expect that. About 10 the wind picked up quite a bit and for us at least the bite seemed over so we came home. Wayne with 4 biggest. Back in the morning.

Good job, Steve. I haven't been in a while. This gets me itchin to go.........

Nice fish Steve, thanks for the report and pics.

Males in spawning colors that far south!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I caught a female today that already started next year's eggs. This has been one strange year. Thanks for the pictures, Steve.

Steve, Congrats on the catch. Way to stay after them and figure them out. Thanks for the pics/post.

Nice!

Nice fish.

And 41 this morning. Got there at 6:30 and left at 12. Biggest was 15" and 4-5 at 14". not slabs but nice fish. Started where we left off yesterday, north wind,6-8 FOW, and caught quite a few and tomato seed was by far the best color. Wind switched to the east and it became a struggle to catch any. Move a little deeper with very little luck, wind getting pretty strong so we moved to a 100 yd section of Roberts Lake that was somewhat out of the wind and picked up a good many nice fish quickly, in fact I had 3 fish on at the same time once. Took about 30-45 mins to fish that section and we fished back thru it with nothing buy maybe 5 throwbacks. 11-13 FOW and no hot color, hit anything. Only 3 males in spawn colors today. Wind had switched from the south pretty hard so we came home, about all my back can take. Wind very strong tomorrow and I need the rest anyway.

nice pile!
