Thread: Lake Russel 04-03-07

I was off work yesterday and my Grandson is on spring break. So he wanted me to take him fishing. I ended up dragging Jigs around the Lake and ended up with 21 Crappie and 1 Green Carp. The Little Turd Bird wouldn't even let me reel one in. It was hard to fish with all the Bank Beaters and the boats flying by. But he had a good time. Hopefully once school is out I'll take him on some night stalks with me.

Were the fish still on the banks or did you have to fish deeper? I wanted to try yesterday (4 April) but those 25-30 mph winds made me decide otherwise!

We were trolling Jigs in 12 to 15 ft of water. the few we caught were on curly tail white. I was was watching the Bank Beaters and they didn't seem to be doing that well. SO I beleive the bank bite is over. Except for a straggler here and there.

I hope this weather stabalizes as I want to go Nite Stalking next week.

YOU just KNOW you ate it up !!! I do not have any grands yet ,nor am I in a hurry for any since the kids are still kids, BUT I do love the look in a kids eyes when they have a fish on !!

I went with my son wed. afternoon we did not start fishing until 545 we fished until sundown and caught 17 keepers we caught them trolling over a creek channel on the upper end of rocky river down below lake secession dam I belive the bank bite here on russell is just about over for the most part.

You hit it on the head It's worth every minute just watching him reel them in. But O his bragging when we get home.

Not bad Beagler. I'd sure be happy with it.
