Thread: Carl Blackwell Lake Report 2018

There is a thread on the main forum called: Jig pictures. Some of my better jigs are shown on pages 35, 36, 39, and 42. There are hundreds of jigs that members have posted on that thread.
I started tying when I attended the free classes at Bass Pro Shops. I am always experimenting and have used all kinds of materials, including my wife's yarn. Some of the materials that you don't see too often include peacock herl and pheasant tail. That combo is a killer. Some of my material comes from Bass Pro (expensive), Crazy Angler, and others. Skiptomylu is a very knowledgeable guy and has a lot of tying materials, including arctic fox, which is better than marabou, but more expensive.
Hope this helps. If you would like more info, please pm me.

Fished Lake Carl Blackwell for a couple hours last night and kept 16 and had several small males that I threw back. Fished about 4-6' off the rocks casting along the bank with slip cork and 1/16oz Chart/White hair jig with garlic SlabSlobber about 2.5' under float. Slow retrieve back and they were hammering it. Lost 4 good ones bringing them in. Also caught 3 LMB and 1 big saugeye. 2 biggest fish in pic are just over 12". Was a great time for just a couple hours of fishing.

Another good evening on Carl Blackwell. This time I got to enjoy it with my better half. Some good fish all ip shallow. Beaver bottom bait (believe called Bone meal) casting out and retrieving as close to the rocks as i could keep it. Lots of people out fishing both boat and bank.

not sure how to delete the sideways picture. I hit edit and it removed it from the edit, but not from original.

Nice fish, nice pics, nice better half.

Got ten good fish and about 18 dinks, all on a small brown/pink hair jig. Friend and I took turns losing some very nice fish. At least that leaves more fish to spawn. Came home with almost all males. Nice big moon.

Fished LCB yesterday from 6:30-11pm. Kept 12 fish 10.5" or better with BF being 15". All caught shallow on Beaver bottom bait in Bone Meal with bladed jighead and a squirt of Slabslobber from time to time. Several people fishing the banks yesterday until dark and then it started to clear out some. There is an endless amount of 6" males anywhere there are rocks it seems like. They are kind of a pain in the @#& honestly. For me, the best bite was between 7 and 8:15. Bigsky, I never seen you. What time were you there? I fished rocks all along path to fish house and then the rocks near the boat launch with the dock.

sc, we were there from about 5:30 to 9:30. I fished the rocks for a short time, then the dock, then back in the bay (rocks and weeds). You'll know I'm there if you see my old yellow Toyota rustbucket.
