Super User gardnerjigman Posted November 22, 2014 Super User Posted November 22, 2014 Drew is at Lacygne. How do you feel? Not too bad. Still numb. She gave me a monstrous pain pill script, but haven't had to take any. Worse part is my throat from the tube. 1 Quote
sizzlefry Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Whats with all the boaters needing back seats? Im guessing storage. You all are taking my spots. Cramping my style.  Quote
Ondrejka Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Who is fishing tomorrow? I've been stuck in Dallas ALL day waiting for a never ending delayed flight but will be back in KS tonight. Thinking I may be on the water tomorrow. Quote

Doc-Drew Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 Anyone fishing today?? I hope your surgery and recovery are going well. Fishing wasn't so hot. My father and I caught some bass and a white but the wipers and Curt's flatheads shut us out...even after I found 3 of Curt's baits! The biggest fish we caught was one I caught that was about 2.5lbs. On a different note we saw a huge buck and 5 doe on the road headed north towards the park entrance. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted November 23, 2014 Global Moderator Posted November 23, 2014 Curt and I hit La Cygne again Thursday. Weather was much nicer, fishing was much worse. We both caught a wiper apiece and a couple white bass at the outlet and Curt caught a couple of these things. Crappie guys were catching them one after the other at the gates on the dam, lots of shorts going into the livewells and buckets. No luck on any bass or flathead spots, not even sure we had a bite. Stopped and tried the bridge for a second and I got in on the hot carp action. Fished the rock wall across from the outlet and I finally got to catch a few bass, I think I caught 5 or 6? Two biggest were healthy fish though. That's pictures of probably half the fish we caught all day, but I'd have gone back the next day if it were an option Water was cold, guessing they weren't generating much. 56 at the outlet, 55-48 at the rock wall, 41 at the dam. Hopefully they aren't going to do minimal generation again this year like they did last year.  I had a minute on the way home so I swung by the outlet at Hillsdale hoping for a white bass or walleye on a jigging spoon, instead I got my catfish that had eluded me at La Cygne. 1 Quote

SuperFluke Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 This is the best report I've been able to post in about two months. Enjoy.  Got 45 minutes free and went to Mize yesterday as the front rolled through. Caught a couple small ones on a jerkbait, but no good ones. Had one follow right to the bank and watched him destroy the bait. He ate it like a kid eats a hot dog with both ends of the bait sticking out of his mouth and still didn't hook up . Pretty cool to watch though. 2 Quote
conorsixtakc Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 He ate it like a kid eats a hot dog with both ends of the bait sticking out of his mouth   The description alone made it your best. Also how I eat bratwursts. 2 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted November 26, 2014 Global Moderator Posted November 26, 2014 Went to Olathe after work yesterday with the intention of fishing my new Pinnacle Optimus reel and Pinnacle Perfecta DHC5 rod. I was really planning on mainly fishing and not doing much catching but the 42.7 degree water at the ramp was higher than I expected and gave me a little hope. I ran straight to the high rock bank on the far north end because I know it has the deepest water in the lake and the sun was already shining on it. The rod and reel felt great, I could really sling my 7/16oz finesse jig a long way even with it being spooled with 20lb fluoro. I'd only made about a dozen cast when I felt what I assume was a limb or brushpile in 25-30' of water (I was impressed I could still feel it since my fingers were already numb). Just like I had been, lifted slowly and it was mush, then an ever so slight pull downwards that I immediately met with an almost straight up and down hookset. Just an average Olathe fish but it was 1 more than I planned on catching I was momentarily sidetracked while trying to retrieve a spook that someone cast into a tree that was a good 30' away from the waters edge. After another 30 minutes of casting with no luck and the wind blowing way harder than the 6mph they forecast, I started just casting out to deeper water and drifting down the bank, fishing uphill and looking for baits as I floated. Right about the time I started to hit the curve in the bank, I drug my jig on one of my first pulls after it hit bottom and got whacked. I set the hook and nailed a limb  Irritated that I'd missed the fish, motored out to my bait to try to get it back. I was snagged in about 19' of water on the edge of where the bottom begins to climb up to the 15' range when all the sudden my depthfinder was spotted with fish everywhere  I had a feeling what it was and after quickly switching my jig to a War Eagle jigging spoon, it hit bottom and I got all of 2 hops in before I felt the telltale "tick" as it was fluttering back down. The line getting ripped from the spool was a pretty dead giveaway, the broad white side and stripes just confirmed it. After that it was on like bing bong Jack! The last one was my biggest at 5lbs 10ozs and bigger than my 22" board. She was a real fighter who had beaten another angler at some point. 1 Quote
micahthorlawson Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 That's awesome! I have tried to get into there before, only got some randos but i have heard they have a good population in Olathe! Quote
Ondrejka Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 I think I'll be on Clinton running the motor for the first time with my dad this Saturday. Actually really looking forward to getting back out there, as I don't think I have fished Clinton since August, and used to be my go-to every day. 1 Quote

There's some monsters in Olathe. I know some guys do well trolling for them, I usually target them with topwater during the summer time and fall with traps, this is the first time I've gotten on them with spoons. If someone had a boat with good electronics I think they could really get on them and catch some big ones. I talked to one guy a month or so ago that had a picture of his wife with a 13.5 pound wiper she caught slow rolling a 1oz spinnerbait at Olathe this past summer and I've heard rumors of a 16lb wiper that was caught on chicken livers this summer as well but haven't seen any proof. 2 Quote
