Going to be renting a small fishing boat this Sunday, anyone catching anything recently? what stage are the fish in? Thanks in advance!

full on spawn.

Yup... spawn.

thanks guys! Any chance we could get into some stripers?

I have been catching them over near Lucky Island in Blackwater area. Wasn't targeting them though. All have been caught on some form of Strike King Square Bill... mainly sexy shad... fishing for large and small mouth. All have been in the coves just past Lucky island.

where is lucky island? only been to lake twice before....

Go to these coordinates: N37° 02' 47.45" W079° 39' 36.01" . This is Lucky Island.

From my pic... the red circles are where i have been nailing the stripers in fairly shallow water.

cool!! thanks Zoff! This should give us a place to check out rather then just roaming around....

No problem. Hope you catch a mess of them.

the mouth of gills creek can be dynamite to as well as in gills if you go check the above spots mentioned.

N 37 02.803 W 79 39.957 go here http://boulter.com/gps/ and type these coords in and you will see where it is at. i dont know how to do what the person did above with the map

The blue arrow is pretty much Gills...

awesome! these are all new spots for me , i haven't been to this part of the lake yet but really i haven't been to lake just to fish most times it has been pleasure boating. During all my trips pleasure boating i have always seen good fish and always told my self i need to come back just to fish and leave the women at home! So that's what im doing!!

Anyways are these spots gonna be rocky? flats? drop offs? structure? I wont have much for electronics, this boat says it comes with depth finder but im sure its a cheapo. As long as i can get depths out of it i should be good.

Thanks again for your guys input...trying to make as much out of this one day trip as possible on this big lake!
