Fished this weekend. friday: fished coleman's, all the way back. Decent top water bite on top water: chugbug and ribbits (black-blue)-fished grass edges. Later switched to WMC flukes- fished hydrilla flats adjacent to creek channel. Caught 15 there, biggest 3.18. Later in day fished 8' hump at dam. Caught 5 there on Ned rig (wmr). sat: launched at Jackson hill and fished islands between launch and bridge. Picked up 7 on spinner baits and 6th sense MVMT 80x live thread fin shad. Moved to Indian creek and fished the point there in 6-8 fow with no luck. Then on to mud creek and caught another 6 on fluke. Fish seemed to be off hay grass about 40 yes, on the edge of submerged hydrilla. Wind horrible! sun: temp 50 and blowing out north. Back to colemans. No topwater bite. fished the creek edges in back. Flukes again. Caught 11, biggest 3.94 and broke off a 5+; don't know what happened, the fish exploded and inhaled the fluke, set the hook and line snapped. Rod didn't have a chance to bend. I had just tied on a fresh hook. ??? All flukes fished weightless.

Headed up to Big Sam this weekend w family. Probably gonna drag the boat. Any ideas of where to fish--not location, just terrain: deep, shallow, etc. what kind of pattern y'all see there this time of year. Thanks Happy Easter

Fished veach yesterday. Caught 22, most 14" or better. Largest 3.6#. Key was to be in 4-6 feet. Trees clumped together, especially if there was grass, seemed to have fish. If you caught one in an area, you caught five. Black/blue senko, t-rig, 1/32 ounce wt. Also caught a few in Coleman's.

All good reasons shaneus. A question for all: let's say I want to flip or jig in tight heavy cover. If I'm throwing a t-rigged creature (brush hog, craw, etc), how do I keep the weight from sliding? Toothpick? Or is there a better way?

Shaneus, Why are you switching brands? What are the problems with the shimano rods? Pat

Fished Palo G. Thursday and got a 4 keepers out of 7. Water slightly stained, but real muddy in back by bridge. Caught on WMR and Wcandy flukes, craw, and senko (1/32 ounce wt). Fish were between grass and bank. Friday afternoon fished turtle beach. Fish had moved off the bank and caught several in 3-5 ft. Water clear. Senkos! Caught some off point in middle and the cove to the east. A few bites all the way in the back. Missed a heck of a fish there. Prob 5+. Rolled on a fluke and hauled butt into deeper water. Didn't get a good hook set. I'll be sick for a while. Found white bass schooling in Tenn Bay in 5-7 ft. The kids wore em out. Caught 30 or so with a few large mouth and Kentucks mixed in. Shad colored rouge.

Got here late yesterday and fished spring hill. Water was a little stained. Threw a WMR fluke w the tail dipped chartr. Found them shallow, between hay grass and bank. Went 3 for 6. Fished about 1 1/2 hrs. Caught one that was dripping eggs (15"). Eased her back in the water. Woke up to gale force winds this am. Will try a midday bite.

Hey Kajun32 Some offshore boats have silhouettes of squid and tuna painted on the hull. Maybe we should paint schools of shad on ours. lol.

He is Risen!!! Happy Easter to all. Good to be back on the site. Good to see Catt still involved. Finally gonna get to scrape the dust off the rods, change line and head to the pond Wednesday. Will give an update. Purple and gold ranger. Geaux Tigers.

Glad to see everyone still fishing and doing well. Have been covered up work, weddings and kid stuff. Buddy just got a new boat and may chase marlin w him in the real big pond for the next 2 months. Then it'll be back to the bend to resume my education. You guys are awesome.

Correction: in 6 mile, coves in miles cr and Gilley's point. Still learning.

Report: fished 6-mile Friday (mill creek??) fished the grass edges in 3-5 ft . Caught 15, 6 keepers?, largest 3 pounds. Set the hook on one and my line popped. Sounded like a 22 rifle. Bowfin? All on wmr chartreuse trig lizard. Water clear. Temp 70. Strong south wind. Didn't launch until noon. Was looking forward to day 2. Sat: returned to 6-mile, same area, same lure. Only caught 4. No keepers. Went to mouth of housen-little coves on the south side. Caught 5 nonkeeps. Flukes and c-rig lizard. Went to pirates (where I launched) and fished the second large island on left coming in. Water temp 72 and a little murky. 4 on wmr fluke, fished real slow. Strong south wind really blows! Seems to me the bite is better in afternoon. Well back to the grind. Tight lines to all this week. BnG

Probably a stupid question: when the generators run, is the fishing affected?

Update. My contact fessed up and told me he limited out by noon in buck creek, "blind fishing the bank". ??

Catt, you are so right. Great group of guys who are willing to share some info for the common good. Catt is right. There aren't many that can spend "every day" on the pond, so good truthful reports tell you what the fish are doing and that really helps you get a game plan going. Hats off to Catt, who started this out of the goodness of his heart. I heard a fella caught a limit before noon on a watermelon candy fluke in "the Pirate's area". That's all I could get out of him. Headed there Friday to pre-fish for a high school tourney on Sat. I'm thinking about going to 6 mile and see if I can find some bedded mommas. Any thoughts?? BnG
