Ondrejka Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Well the Melv was a bit different on Sunday than it has been for me the past four weekends. Finally got DJ off of his chain, which was nice. It was pretty windy and choppy by the time we launched at 6:30, and only got worse as the morning progressed. By 10-11am there were two to three foot rollers blowing southwest 25+ mph across the lake and started making things tough. But, we pounded it out and fished the same big fish point Lake Erie style and it paid off. DJ got his new PB at 3.1# on a Tennessee Shad Keitech. I did fish a spook in those rollers though and had a few takers, which was kind of funny. We caught probably 35 fish and the best five went just over 11 lbs. Still had fish eating tubes, squarebills, and a few on a shakyhead. Nothing really too different as far as what they wanted, but didn't see as many shallow feeding frenzies and the topwater bite was not on as much either  Did have a good one come unbuttoned halfway back to the boat on it's second jump when DJ was landing that first fish in the first pic. Water temps did jump up to almost 80. Should cool down some this week, and hopefully won't be as windy and rough next weekend.      Quote
Super User gardnerjigman Posted September 8, 2015 Super User Posted September 8, 2015 We had a similar experience Saturday Brian. We probably boated 40 fish from daylight until 11:30. Wind really picked up as the day went, but the usual suspects were still catching them. 1.0, tube, spook and Adam was doing some serious work on with the pompadour. (R.I.P. Pompadour lol)  Over all the 1.0 actually caught the least amount of fish, which was really surprising considering the amount of fish it usually catches. We had several big fish came unbuttoned at the boat, and we had some BIG followers as well. I would think the cooler weather this week will get them to wolf pack up a little more and start the feeding frenzy back up. 1 Quote
Ondrejka Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 My dad is out right now and just sent me a picture of a pig. Said he's caught three over 2 and one over 3 since sun up this morning. Quote
Super User gardnerjigman Posted September 8, 2015 Super User Posted September 8, 2015 Had a good day on Sunday. We (the wife, kids and I) went to my aunt and uncles house over by Raintree Lake in Lee's Summit for a cook-out. They had invited several other people from church, so I was all too happy to slip out the back door and hit the pond behind their house. It wasn't long before I had some "followers" lol.  My kids were the only ones there that had actually gone fishing and have caught fish before. The other kids said they had gone, but never caught anything. Needless to say they were anxious to give it a go, and I was all to happy to try and help. We decided the best bet was to have them line up beside me, I would hook the fish and they would reel it in, hold it for a photo, and release it themselves. It took some convincing to get some of them to actually hold the fish, but they all had a blast and I have to say, it was an amazing experience for me as well!     4 Quote

I caught a bass/sunfish double on a popper at Lenexa several years ago, but I've never seen a sunfish double. Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted September 9, 2015 Global Moderator Posted September 9, 2015 Thinking about doing some night ops on Melvern tonight if anyone is interested. Quote
bassbassontherange Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 All you knuckleheads out on Melvern are making me jealous. I can't get out there, but I might be headed to Cedar Creek/Fort Scott/ Rock Creek next week. Â The cooler weather next week might heat things up. Anyone fished any of these lakes recently? Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted September 12, 2015 Global Moderator Posted September 12, 2015 Not quite a new PB but I did get me a fence panda at Melvern Wednesday night!  About the only thing I caught on a tube all night. I think the dark night had them messed up. Tiny white bass biting everywhere though. No catfish or walleye all night surprisingly enough. Drew caught all 3 flavors of bass, I couldn't get a spot but I did get the other two. Drew had big fish (that counted), of the night with a 17+ inch smallmouth that appeared to fight about like a tree branch, don't know what it's problem was. It was so dark out that we didn't run around much though and ended up in the marina and on the dam most of the night (2 of my least productive areas this year).  Those of you that were there know that Miola kicked out some nice fish Thursday before the storms. My first fish of the night was second biggest I've caught all year in the tournaments at 4lb 3oz flipping a Pit Boss into the water willows.  Unfortunately we couldn't get the last 2 to fill out or limit and Chris and Jake caught a couple really nice fish so we didn't get big bass either  I know, you're just heartbroken for me Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted September 12, 2015 Super User Posted September 12, 2015 I made it to paola to try out the 360 but left when I saw the storm rolling in. Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted September 13, 2015 Super User Posted September 13, 2015 Any reports from today? Did the cold front shut them down? Quote

Ondrejka Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Everyone I know, including my parents, that were on Milvin today did really well. Even with the Backlashers turds out. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted September 13, 2015 Global Moderator Posted September 13, 2015 I didn't think I'd turned the camera on yet Thursday night but was pleasantly surprised to catch our only fish worth showing on camera. Quote
RangerDanger Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Adam said they had a 100 fish day at Melvern. Easily, with 3 guys. It was kind of slow early, I got 2 good fish right off the bat then it slowed down. After noon it turned on, I mean getting bit on every cast and doubling up. Coty caught a 3 at about 2:30 on a rover. Had a real good fish follow a bullshad. When we started the water temp was 66, but it quickly went back up to 77. Coty did make me go to the dam so his buddy could experience it. There are some better fish up on the dam. Coty won the sunfish challenge 4 to 3 and him and Johnny had double on largemouth. Glad we were able to show Johnny a good time. Quote
