Micaiah Lindquist Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 @roadwarrior Man, it was awesome! I would post the video on here but I'm not exactly sure of the rules with that. Is saying "please subscribe" or something like that at the end considered promotion?

Super User Team9nine Posted March 15 Super User Share Posted March 15 Didn’t expect much of a bite coming off the cold front, the snow and the hard freeze - and there wasn’t much until I put on some heavy metal. Picked up a dozen, and expecting a better bite tomorrow before the rain moves in…then another crappy few days before we get to a week of warmer weather. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User AlabamaSpothunter Posted March 16 Super User Share Posted March 16 If I catch this fish again, I'll know it for sure. I'm calling it "flatline"......can't ever remember seeing one with such a long portion so flat and black. Nice little tank all fat full of shad. Caught about 10-12, 2 Spots on the Shimano Swimbait, 3 fish on a new Megabass SuWitch, and 5-7 fish on the flashback mini. Bigger Spot was the only quality of the day, I hope to figure some things out quickly lol. I'm scanning more and it seems to be paying off, today I really scanned the close areas near channel ridges/dropoffs, and found lots of fish in that 12-14fow with nearby ledges dropping into the 20+ ranges. 95% of them were belly in the mud mode. These fish are in trouble if I can ever figure out a DD crank, or really just take the gamble and invest in a proper setup and commit to running them into the ground in 15-25ft of water. I know that will work, it's just not easy to do. Wins a ton of money by the best Bass pros, and catches a ton of huge LGMs. Tomorrow it might happen, but today it certainly didn't. Amazing I'm still catching the chonker Crappie after the wave of Crappie fisherman have hammered them for weeks now. First livescope on the lake belongs to a dedicated Crappie fisherman lol. It's the total package too, makes me drool. I'm all for it, they eat Bass fry, eat up the Shad, and aren't trophy Bass...we happily co-exist, it's those darn Bass fisherman I have trouble with, first FFS Bass fisherman and my hand will be forced 😆 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260Bass365 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Pretty new to the board. Open water in mid-February is not common for Northern IN, but I did catch this one on Feb 19. Vision 110 in 8 feet of water, 38 degree water temps. 6.25 lbs 29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User Team9nine Posted March 16 Super User Share Posted March 16 Thought they would be chewing today with the wind and the rain, and they were. Picked off 22 while not getting too drenched, as I waited for the first heavy line of rain to pass before heading out. Nothing 20 minutes in the dryer couldn’t fix. Speaking of fixes, got mine now to get me through the weekend before more seasonal warmer temps arrive next week and I can get back out and swing on ‘em. 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User AlabamaSpothunter Posted March 17 Super User Share Posted March 17 First few hours I caught 8 + 2 Crappie, then a really nice gentlemen who has my dream small lake boat but hasn't had time to fish the lake extensively asked me if I wanted to front seat his rig and bring him up to speed on the lake. I'm jumped at the chance to get a fishing buddy, and parked my boat and only took two rods no tackle.......A Jackhammer, and a big swimbait as I only wanted to make limited cast, mainly focusing on just fishing together for the first time, laying out what I'd figured out these last 6months, and running a true Bass type boat from the front with a foot control in a long time. After switching boats and running my mouth for about 3hrs I managed to catch 2 more fish, however one was a fantastic 5.3 fully spawned out so she had that 6-7lb look to her. Obviously, I was thrilled, but my new fishing buddy got to net it/weigh it, and he was thrilled after not fishing since early in the Fall. He managed to get on the scoreboard as well with a fish on a shakeyhead. *** In Alabama we don't have prescription sunglasses 🤣 So on yesterday's report I mentioned I graphed more than usual, and it paid off by finding loads of fish on the sonar for the first time since the fish scattered and really started spawning. Took the night to ponder how I might get them to bite and decided instead of running a DD in the ground, I'd find a bait to run right in that 3-3.5m range right above their heads. Decided to try a Frittside 9 in Kentucky Blue on these fish first, and as a backup a TN70 lipless in Threadfin Shad. Caught 5 quick fish on the Frittside 9, but they were all 1-2lb fish....and then my new fishing buddy got my attention. Hopefully I can grow on this. It's amazing how much you can learn on youtube. I thought I was learning lots from Tactical Bassin, but Ben Milliken's stuff is really helping me out. The way he breaks the lake down, then shows the fish on sonar, then scopes the fish while presenting baits. Here's the described fish at one of their spawn staging points on a channel ledge flat. This is elementary stuff for most of you I'm sure, but putting together what you learn from somebody on youtube, and then apply it with your electronics and then confirm it with catches makes me feel like I'm a little less lost out there. Last note for the day, I fished the Berkeley Slobberknocker in 3/8 Green Pumpkin Shad with the Berkeley 4.5" Tenn Shad Power Stinger trailer for a week+, caught one fish, lost a toad on it. Within 20-30casts of breaking out a brand new Jackhammer in 3/8 Bhite Delite with a Missile Green Pumpkin Delite 5.5" Spunk Shad trailer, I had that 5.3 fish, and then went on to catch another fish on it. I doubt I can fish the Berkeley bladed jig stuff when I know what every form of name brand Chatterbaits catch. Beautiful stuff, but the thump, and start up just suck in comparison. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
