    Default WB at Hillsdale


    Threw down on the WB at Hillsdale last night. Bunchs of fish coming out of 18 to 24fow. Pulling White Bandits.Tons of small ones. Seemed like a 10 to 1 ratio on big to little. Lake fished like it lost a whole year class of WB. Fished 4 to 9pm. Boated around 90. 9 decent keepers. Couple 12" crappie. Headed to Clinton tonight. HD may be a bust for WB this year, IMO.

    Everything I ever catch out there are dinks, both in crappie and white bass, all dinks. The keepers are very few and far between. I stopped using minnows all because of those dinks. A man can be out of minnows in a matter of minutes with those darn dinks.

    Whole different day today. Felt like eyes for dinner. Hit HD for eyes from 9am till 2pm. Eyes were on hard. Lots of fish coming off a long flat. Biggest 25". Bunch of 15s", lots of small ones also. All year classes appeared well represented. Big fish seemed best in 14ft. But had fish from 9 to 24'fow. Real good fish. Dragging double worm jigs. Had a number of doubles. Catfish hadn't moved in yet. They werent bad at all. Took 60 worms. Ran out at 2. Fish were still on. They would take a 4" punkinseed mister twister. Didnt like plastic worms or shad imita. Really hitting the worms well with bright heads. Also were coming on beaded willow blade rig. Bait had to be on or right by the bottom. Fish were tight, mostly stationary, water murkey, bright sun, NW wind 9 to 12mph. Real good fish
    3 boats drifting same pattern also catching a lot. Eyes look good at HD this year.

    Slabby Joe and I caught 5 short walleyes today fishing for crappie, did manage a couple nice messes of crappie, many nice size WB. The WB were on the West end of the damn 8 to 15 feet of water, road runners, acid rain twister tails.

    We do bottom bouncers sometimes. Mostly bottom jig with a floater with worms. They are running water out of HD. Chased the eyes last night. Nothing but shorts. Dropped off a little for me. Chaseing them again this afternoon.

    Couple days late, but I fished HD Wednesday. Caught many keepers and lots of dinks. Picked up several around the rock near the crites ramp, and mud flats in the wade. The crappie seemed to be spread all over the place, on the bank, drop-offs, and brush piles. Used minnows and jigs (both worked about the same), and spider rig most of the time.
