Hey all, I headed down to Lake Whitney for a week. I only have a small boat so I will be limited in the water I can cover but what baits are working currently down there or what areas/depth should I be focusing on? I'm headed down on Sunday, the 21st. thanks for any tips

thanks, the tubes I use have a bit more tentacle length it seems, so that could be my hang up too

Hmm I have found the 3/0 is too big for the 2.75 in tube, the 2/0 is ok but not ideal

Here's a question for you tube guys. What jig head do you guys use on the bitsy tube size (2.75 in). I have yet to find a jighead I am satisfied with. I like to fish them on 1/8 heads but have a hard time finding a hook size that is not too big or too small.

I have fished Duck, Green, and Long before but that was in a bass boat. Those are probably bigger than I can effectively fish in a canoe. I have been on Portage before but it has been 10 years at least, If I recall it looked like it should have a good bass population but I don't remember us doing all that well. Thanks for the map link! I have been using googlemaps to look at smaller lakes but sometimes it is hard to see if there is an access site.

I will be heading up for a week in mid July. Any smaller lakes/rivers that I should try for bass? I will only have a canoe so big lake might be a bit much. I am staying south of TC in Frankfort but driving is not a problem. thanks for the help. matt

Thanks for all the responses

Hey all, I will be vacationing in GA with my extended family this summer. Both Allatoona and Lanier look to be fairly close, which should I get a guide on for Spotted bass? Also any recommendations on guides? Probably will be me and my brother-in-law going fishing. Thanks

Anyone been to Melvern lately? I am heading there next week with my brother in law. Any info is appreciated. Is spawn over? We went once last summer but it was right in the middle of that 2 week stretch where it was 100+ every day. Thanks

I understand exactly what you were trying to say Forgive me if I have offended you its the stat/logic geek in me that your original statement perked my ears

How would you know? If you don't detect it how would you know how many bites you are missing? Just a some food for thought about the way we all phrase things...

anyone fished La Cynge lately? I am headed over to my bro in-law's(olathe) on Friday and we are going to fish somewhere. I live in Columbia, MO so not sure what lakes are "hot" right now over there.

I see that La Cygne is way down, is it still possible to launch a boat there? I may be heading there on Friday but didn't want to waste the trip if I cant get in. Thanks

Right now I would fish docks back in the creeks/coves. It changes day to day where the fish and shad will position. I would fish the 1st, last and any unusual docks. Crankbaits down the sides of docks will work well also try to swim a jig down the sides as well. Flipping and pitching seems to always pick up a few fish as well. Good luck

hey all We are heading up farther north than normal on the Mississppi due to a couple of tournaments on pool 10 and 11. Anyone got a recent fishing report for pool 9? What is the mix of smallies vs. largemouth? Any areas we should definitely hit? Also is there a boat ramp in Guttenberg, IA? that would be the closest ramp to us. Thanks
