Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted April 4, 2021 Global Moderator Posted April 4, 2021 Took the fam out for some Easter weekend boating. Water is finally starting to stabilize a tad, still in the mid to upper 50s. My niece wouldn’t slow down her retrieve enough to get any lure under the surface, but she thoroughly enjoyed releasing all the fish we caught 18 Quote

Super User NorcalBassin Posted April 4, 2021 Super User Posted April 4, 2021 Crazy how big of a difference a week of warm weather makes. Water temps now in the low 60's, a few bucks were busy prepping beds, and the afternoon bite was nothing short of amazing. A-rig was the ticket around daybreak. The fish moved up shallow with the warmer water and wind in the afternoon, and the LM and spots were eating Keitechs like they were candy. 18 Quote

Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted April 4, 2021 Global Moderator Posted April 4, 2021 Took the family out on Easter, couldn’t catch anything for about an hour or two in 49 degree water (different lake than yesterday). My brother says “maybe it’s this bad luck banana I brought” and eats it and chucks the peel overboard. Not 5 minutes later I got the only bite of the day 16 Quote
avid Posted April 5, 2021 Posted April 5, 2021 SW Florida Black and blue jig with a green pumpkin/chartreuse tube trailer I added the chartreuse color with a scented color dip that garlic smell is wicked but it was the only bait that would work Caught 10 Quote
Mbirdsley Posted April 5, 2021 Posted April 5, 2021 Nothing all that much impressive today. There was no pattern today. I caught 6 different fish on 6 differnt lures. Didn’t get a picture of the pike that went 26 inches for some reason. Caught the one on a chatter bait that I made. The head and skirt is called baby bass shad raps have been working so far caught another one on a black and silver #5. Caught the pike on a divine swim bait, and another bass on a flicker Shad. I need to invest in some more of Shad raps. Last couple years I’ve nailed some nice early in March and April. So far that hasn’t been the case lake was Murphy lake near millington mi. 19 Quote
Biglittle8 Posted April 5, 2021 Posted April 5, 2021 Pretty nice day today, 7 fish mostly small. 2 pickerel one was barely bigger then the lure, one was around 20 inches or so... everything on a Lucky Craft SP jerkbait. The Pickerel were hitting hard today I lost another decent size one at the shoreline. This little Pickerel was mean for his size? 16 Quote
TingTingEightSix Posted April 6, 2021 Posted April 6, 2021 2.9 lber caught today, at least according to the cheap Ozark trail manual scale I had on hand. May have overestimated the size a bit, but for my ego, I'll go with the 2.9 it gave me ?. CPR'd. Caught, Photographed, released quickly. 16 Quote
928JLH Posted April 6, 2021 Posted April 6, 2021 Lake Havasu is wide open. Huge wave has pulled up ready to spawn. 14 today on keitechs swam parallel to tullie lines. Wind cut it short today. 17 Quote
TingTingEightSix Posted April 6, 2021 Posted April 6, 2021 IF, a big IF my scale is anything close to correct, I caught my PB this morning within 15 minutes of arrival at the lake and concluded the day with another solid fish. Hold the excitement or legit PB? 14 Quote

Hold the excitement or legit PB? I have that same scale it weighs a 5 lb plate right at 5 lbs . Try something at home for calibration, like weights or a 4 lb sack of sugar Congrats on the new milestone Quote
lo n slo Posted April 6, 2021 Posted April 6, 2021 my cousin missed all of last year fishing with me due to covid concerns. heck, he even sold his boat. but now he’s had both doses of the vaccine and he’s ready to make up for lost time. first time on the water in over a year and he even had me down 3-0 early on! i hate his guts ? he caught this chunky girl off a stump in about 5’ fow on a Zoom lizard. 14 Quote
Global Moderator 12poundbass Posted April 6, 2021 Global Moderator Posted April 6, 2021 I just got home, fired up the grill, and 6poundbass was beating on the door with this. He’s officially on the bass board with quite possibly a new PB for him, I didn’t get a weight but it’s top two for him no doubt. He’s still on cloud 9 right now. 20 Quote

The worst part is my mother in-law has caught the biggest here out of our family, to top that off it was her first bass ever caught (4.5 lbs) 2 Quote

BigAngus752 Posted April 6, 2021 Posted April 6, 2021 Interesting day today. Fished from 8:30am to 3pm. Water temps from 56.5 in the south/deep end in the morning to 62 in the shallow north end in the afternoon. I caught 12 bass. I thought I would be spending more time in the backs of spawning coves but I only caught small bass back there. All of the biggest bass were at the mouths or just inside the beginning of the coves. None of the bass had scraped up tails. All were in perfect condition. A blk/blu @Siebert Outdoors Fogy with a blk/blue SK Menace caught the most and a Cotton Cordell lipless in my favorite Walmart-only shad color was a close second. Also caught one on a chartruese 1.5 squarebill and one on a t-rigged coppertruese Zinker Z. We are about to have a temp drop with cloudy skies and a bit of rain. The water temps shouldn't go up any more this week. I'm interested to see if the fish are in the same places this coming weekend or if they'll keep moving up regardless of water temps. 15 Quote
