Went to Melvern Saturday and had some issues with the outboard. Launched from arrow rock ramp and fished that cove for a while. My wife and I quit after about 3 hours and ended with 23 fish. Biggest was 2.51 lb smallmouth. Whites were very active on the plus side. My wife and I took our dog rollerblading this morning and we past regency lake park and she told me she wanted to go fishing there in the afternoon. We came back and just started catching largemouth left and right on the Ned rig. Ended with 27 fish. Turned out to be a pretty fun afternoon

Be sure to let me know how you do. I'm really interested in how it is. Last year I did really well with a frog but I'm thinking its a bit too cold for that yet.

Speaking of Miami, has anyone fished it lately?

Count me out for this one

Pm sent. Also, if any of you have questions about chiropractic, please feel free to pm me!

Well guys, it's official. I'm done with chiropractic school and have started in a practice in Overland Park. So if any of you are in need...

Congrats!

Took my father back to Melvern today and we found water temps from 53 when we got there to 64 in the back of a cove. We ended with 25 total fish but the quality wasn't the same as it was for us Saturday. Right before we left I lost a monster smallmouth at the point by the ramp. Easily over 4lbs that just spit the hook right by the boat. About 10 minutes later and closer to the ramp I hooked into another big one. She ended up 19.5" and 4.25 lbs

Not sure where you guys were fishing but on the south side of the lake Saturday the temps for me ranges from 50-52

It was a lot of fun today despite the hurricane we decided to fish in. Oddly enough, all our fish came on the Ned rig. We only had one bite on a jerkbait. Even the whites didn't want it from us. Going into the last hour, we only had 4 bass over 12" then we found some on a windy bank just killing the Ned rig. Here is a list of our 5 biggest weights and pictures of the two biggest. 3.81 lbs, 3.** lbs, 3.21 lbs, 3.04 lbs, and 2.57 lbs

So is it official then, 6:30 start time?

I'm fishing with my father

By the way, congrats super fluke! Congrats blue on having mondo sell your chatterbaits. I see that you changed head types. Are you noticing any change in the action?

Where was that?

Good luck to you!

I plan on taking the boat out of hibernation Friday. Anyone been out this week for trout? Other than blue at kill creek.

Sorry for the late report but I convinced my wife to go fishing at Coffey with me last Monday (MLK Day). We ended up fishing for about 4 hours before the wind picked up and we decided to leave. Between the two of us, we caught 13 fish. Combination of smallmouth, largemouth, and wipers. Biggest fish was a 18.5" 3.70 lbs on a Ned rig on my second cast.

I vote for Melvern and as for the 2-day, I really can't say. Never fished any of the lakes other than Melvern and Milford.

I'm definitely down with march for a one day-er. Count me in as a boater with a partner. As for May, I cannot say whether or not I am going to be able to fish. I graduate chiropractic college late April so it depends on my job situation.

Like pbrussel said, we both fished LaCygne on Saturday. I caught a total of 8 fish. None if any size. I wasn't able to fish the discharge area since there were 4 boats anchored on the buoys and a bunch of bank fishermen. I went to melvern on Sunday and the report is very similar. For the first time since fishing there, the dam was no good for me. Biggest fish was a 17" largemouth that was caught hopping a swim bait through brush. I did manage to snag a rather large gizzard shad with a jerkbait. I surely didn't expect that. It was bigger than some of the smallmouth I caught.

I think I'd go with Miami SFL. Great for numbers and very easy to catch. There's even some decent fish in there too.

Went to LaCygne today. The plant wasn't pumping out hot water so I figured it was going to be tough all day. And I was right. My wife and I caught 10 total. The highlight was a 18.25" 3.80 lb largemouth caught on me shaky head. All the fish either came on a Ned rig or shaky head.

I caught one that was shaped like that last year up in South Dakota. I didn't take a picture but if you can imagine a 12" smallmouth with a gut like the first one, that's pretty much it. Felt like I was holding a junior football

What was the water temp?

Hey blue put me down for potato salad. Not sure what else to bring. Seems like everything is pretty much covered
