928JLH Posted April 11, 2021 Posted April 11, 2021 Dink fest on Alamo Lake Saturday. Definitely heading back this fall for a good topwater day. 18 dinks on underspins. Trees are everywhere. Good confidence booster fishing a new body of water and figuring things out. 17 Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted April 11, 2021 Super User Posted April 11, 2021 Had the pleasure of taking a late afternoon trip with the family. Feel super blessed to have a couple teenagers who love to go out fishing. Fishing wasn't as good as I anticipated (65* water) but we still caught quite a few on underspins. Another unusually big (for us) crappie Good times! 27 Quote
928JLH Posted April 11, 2021 Posted April 11, 2021 Good day on Lake Havasu. Drop shotting margarita mutilator roboworms and green pumpkin biffle bugs on a swinghead. 20 Quote
Super User MickD Posted April 11, 2021 Super User Posted April 11, 2021 Personal best smallmouth after 8 hours without a bite or even seeing evidence of fish. Finally found them, took 8, best five 25 pounds, PB = 6-11. 25 Quote

JWall14 Posted April 12, 2021 Posted April 12, 2021 First time fishing an A rig and well it works. I may have had to go swimming to retrieve it but it was worth is for this 4’4 chunk. Got to see the bite which was cool. I’d say I’m hooked on A rigs now. 20 Quote
keagbassr Posted April 12, 2021 Posted April 12, 2021 Got out today after work 3-7. Got 8 on a spinnerbait with the best of those a 3-8 and one on a jig that weighed 4-8. 20 Quote

JWall14 Posted April 12, 2021 Posted April 12, 2021 Hit the lake again today. I wasn’t about to miss the chance to throw the A rig again and I wasn’t disappointed! New PB largie that went for 5-6. Not bad for northern Illinois. I ended with three in under 2hrs with the smallest over 2lbs. The two pics are of the 5-6. I think I may spend any free hour I get this week at this place-the bite is that good. That’s a 4-4 and 5-6 in back to back visits. 25 Quote

When you say arrived, did you order those smallmouth off Amazon?? Link please, asking for a friend 4 Quote
JWall14 Posted April 13, 2021 Posted April 13, 2021 Had to go out again. They are really biting an A rig right now as I pulled another good one. This one went 4-9 and I added two other smaller ones. I had one pulling drag on a locked out curado DC and ended up pulling a single fish scale. Probably snagged but it still hurt for a while. 16 Quote
Super User J._Bricker Posted April 13, 2021 Super User Posted April 13, 2021 Here’s my 3.6lb bed fish, took about 15 minutes to get her to go 14 Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted April 14, 2021 Super User Posted April 14, 2021 Got on a few today ~ Best 5 were just north of 28 lbs Report & Video to follow . . . A-Jay 24 Quote
HaydenS Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 @A-Jay The respect you show these amazing fish is incredible! Most people would boat flip them and they would flop around the boat for a bit. You net your fish and then make sure they get on their pad. Fish would want to be caught so they could get this special treatment! Caps off! 5 1 Quote
Super User PhishLI Posted April 14, 2021 Super User Posted April 14, 2021 A chilly rain all day and into Monday night quieted down last night's bite, but the Phish brothers beat dat skunk anyway with a few feisty buck bass, and none of my baits got murda'd by pickerel for once. Happy days. 14 Quote
JWall14 Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 And another successful hour of A rig fishing. The smallest was a low 3, then a 3-12, and 5-0. The 5-0 ate with about 6ft of line out which was quite fun. In order: low 3, 5-0, 3-12 15 Quote

Nelson Wormefeller Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 I'm uglier than the fish, can't bear to be internetted. Quote

Biglittle8 Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 Took the boat out to Sutton lake, the bass were hammering bait fish. My buddy caught two decent fish. 21 Quote
Super User PhishLI Posted April 15, 2021 Super User Posted April 15, 2021 Just got back from an over-nighter grind of a wade with some pals. The original theme was supposed to be BIG swimbaits, but they wouldn't play along, so we eventually capitulated. I went really small and got the bottom two on a 3" Dark Sleeper and a 4" MB Hazedong Shad. LOL. So much for BIG bait dreams, for now anyway. We all hit good numbers and some nice chunks, so smiles all around. P.S. My buddy wore "that shirt" again just for you @TnRiver46 ? 18 1 Quote
