Easy3actual Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Got to get out last Sunday. I was throwing a jig and did not getting a bite. Guy next to me got a 5 pounder on a senko. We talked for a minute. He told me he caught a 9 pounder at Blue Lagoon park in Bartlett, the weekend before. Quote
neocrunch Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Greetings from the cold hard plains of central Indiana. My wife's parents live in Collierville so we bring the kids down there a few times a year + a special visit whenever my favorite band plays Memphis. I've been thinking about hauling my kayak down there the next time we visit. This thread has been very helpful locating spots to fish. I'm hoping y'all might be able to give me some info on the Wolf River, too. I came across this video and now I'm dying to paddle it. How is the fishing on the "ghost" section (or any other section for that matter)? Quote

The eastern part of the river is much nicer I hear and I am looking to try those sections this summer. Quote

Super User Angry John Posted March 18, 2017 Super User Posted March 18, 2017 What a perfect day to be out. Spending the day getting ready for the tourney tomarrow and helping around the house. Quote

You didn't miss anything. I managed to go to a local pond in Southaven for the last hr & half of daylight. Not a single nibble. Not even on a Ned Rig. ? Good luck tomorrow. 1 Quote

My understanding is those lakes can be tough nuts to crack. Plus, tough conditions this weekend after cold weather & a front moving thru on Friday. Quote

We even used the Fish call but it didn't work !!!! John you and UFpowerlifter won a door prize but ya'll weren't there so it was given to some one else. The winner had a 17lbs + Quote
Super User Angry John Posted March 20, 2017 Super User Posted March 20, 2017 We had to run home to our family's. We both stretch to make the events and run home to make sure the kido's are ready for school on Monday. Its worth all the pain with the wife to be out there though!!! Quote
WDE Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Weather is nice today. Here's to next 3.5 hours of work flying by. Hoping they're biting today, March has been brutal to me with on and off weather and lack of landing much. Quote
coloradofire Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Went to Neshoba the other day my buddy caught 5 bass 2 in the back pond through the trees on the back side and 2 on the main pond. I landed about a 13" Black Crappie on the back lake and got me a little square bill out of a tree that someone left in it. 1 Quote

I haven't caught a fish in over 3 weeks(!) and it's driving me insane. Closest thing was a bass who tried to run with my jig, but the weed guard prevented the hookset. It seems that everyone that I've seen lately has been fishing for crappie, and having pretty decent success at it. Quote
wdp Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 Caught my best so far this season at 5+ lbs. Wish I'd had my scales on me to weigh it. She had a fat belly. 1 Quote
Super User Angry John Posted March 26, 2017 Super User Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Did you catch that today, i had a good bit today as well!!! Edited March 26, 2017 by Angry John Add pic 1 Quote

Stayed close to home & fished near my neighborhood since weather was looking sketchy. Didn't figure I would have much luck, but ended up with 3. Decent one on a Redeye, a little dink on Ned Rig & the big one on a wakebait. 1 Quote
Victor Kees III Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 On my way to the civic center. Anyone been having any luck there recently? Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted March 27, 2017 Super User Posted March 27, 2017 Have not had a single bite on three outings there, but I can tell you there are some MONSTERS in that water! 1 Quote

WDE Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Caught 4 today. 3 small bass, 2 of which I was able to spy from the bank and enticed them with soft plastics. Got a fair sized crappie(1.67lbs, ~13 inches) too on a lipless crank. 2 Quote
WDE Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 Keep your eyes down, everyone. Watched this little guy creep around at Johnson-fountains. Quote
