Vavatron Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Any of you guys want a $50 Bass Pro gift certificate for $40? I have a specific purchase in mind, and the brand is not carried by BP so the gift card I was given is of no use. Great gift, but sadly Tackle Warehouse is getting my next chunk of money. Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 10, 2016 Global Moderator Posted January 10, 2016 La Cygne was La Cygne Thursday. WT 49 at the ramp, little high and stained. Missed a couple on a squarebill around the ramp that felt like solid hits but maybe I was running into the carp that seemed to be everywhere! WT was 60 at the outlet and it was ripping! Not many shad it didn't seem like and that resulted in not many fish there. I saw one flathead in the 10-15 pound range get caught and strung up. One guy was armpits deep on the flat catching 6" whites like it was cool. I caught my first bass of the year skipping a Ned under the cables. Missed a fish on a spinnerbait that I got a good look at, wasn't a big loss. Went to the flats and hit some wipers and whites pretty good for a minute before I went to the bluff. Grand total of 2 bites, both from the same fish and I lost it both times. Wasn't a monster but a pretty solid fish that I'd like to have caught. Back to the spot on the flat and caught several more wipers before I tailhooked a carp and spent the next several minutes playing tug-o-war around a laydown, sure I was going to lose my new Warpig. Amazingly, I managed to find the line with my lure retriever and hand line the sewer bass in and retrieve my bait. Had I been closer to the outlet I would have donated it to crowd (13 that I counted). All the commotion wrecked my bite. Tried the outlet again and it was even less productive than the first time (0). I thought I was the only boat on the lake with the rain, cold, and dense fog so I started to run towards the dam, but once I saw 3 other trailers in the parking lot, I decided a high speed collision didn't sound like fun and decided to just fish around the ramp for a minute and go home. Cranking a Rayburn Red 1.5 that Drew painted for me, caught my second and current biggest bass of the year at 4lb 5oz. Decided that was a good ending note and packed it in, but not before Cassidee decided to go swimming, I guess she wasn't soaked enough from the rain. 5 Quote

awohlwend Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 So it's Thursday and the high for the day is in the upper 50's. I expect we'll see a fishing report from Clayton. Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 14, 2016 Global Moderator Posted January 14, 2016 Nothing from me today. I'll be playing in the cold tomorrow most likely though. Flying solo unless someone else feels like punishing themselves. 1 Quote

I hit WC about 11 they made us quit at 2. Took a guy from Wisconsin that wanted to have our meeting on the lake. He was amazed that we could fish in January and catch LM and SM in the same place with the same bait. I did get my best fish of the year on a mikey, didn't weigh it since it had all 3 hooks. I do know it didn't go 4. 2 Quote
