    Default Where are the males?


    The last 3 fishing trips produced all females except 1 male. The females were caught away from the banks usually on some wood. The one male I caught didn't have a bloody tail. So what's going on. Maybe they're not ready yet, the female are busting with eggs. I can't remember such a time before. What have y'all been catching, especially down here.

    Nothing! I've been catching nothing! Hopefully I can change that this weekend but yes the pattern has been crazy this year. They were catching in 2 - 4 fow at Larto when they should have been deep.

    See any movement on the banks? Im saying less than a foot of water. ?
    From what I've seen, not much, males have been scratching their tails with the bass.
    They'll spook way faster than the bass. Ifn I pitch at em the bass will take it all first.

    Mightaswell stay back n catch the girls anyways.

    All 8 that I cleaned from yesterday’s trip were males.
    I can only think of two being hooked close to the bank.

    Don't think so the females are loaded with eggs. Maybe the next full moon.
