today was a good day at blue marsh. caught seven bass with one being a tank of a smallie, probly a lil over 6lbs . was using a lipless mostly. but caught a couple on spinnerbaits too. caught a nice 5 lb largie but she swallowed the lipless to her gills and was bleeding bad so i didnt take a pic. i just unhooked and got her back in the water as fast as possible and she swam off.

no wake.... with all the crappie fisherman. haha

Had to put down the chatterbait and reached for my jig out of desperation. Caught her in really thick  shallow cover.

i was fishing a lipless off a rocky point?. she loaded up pretty light, then really started pulling drag. i think shes over 6. right now i think they are setting up before they head into the coves.

Ive never caught one on a lipless. i have  a few and i take a few casts once in a blue moon with them but i never had confidence in them.

These weather swings are brutal this year...and I don't remember there ever being so much wind!

Yeah man the wind has kept me off the water a lot more than i expected.

 

Weather and quarantine have me not wanting to fish as much. Curious what brand reels you guys prefer. Debating between a Curado k and a tatula sv103

Decided to try nockamixon for the first time. I realized a few weeks ago its about the same drive time as marsh. Launched at the three mile boat ramp so I can try the southern end first. Found some milfoil in some areas and got some bites by ripping my chatter bait out of clumps. Lost one trying to lift her out of the water cos I forgot to bring my net but I managed to get this small guy in.

caught a decent pickerel on a lipless today at the lake house. Stopped by a pond for a few min when I got home and made a few casts, didn't catch anything

what are you using it for?

 

SV is great for lighter baits and skipping, K is good for big workhorse baits. Really depends on its intended use.

It’s a champ. I grabbed it during the sale

Fished nockamixon again for a few hours. The presence of grass is such a nice change from the sprayed grassless marsh creek.The wind was managble but still a factor. Got two on the chatter bait.

So far the pickerel are dominating my year...3 to 1 in their favor.  Only caught a few ok bass...

hi guys - just trying to figure out the gov's reg's on this quarrantine ... I haven't been out fishing yet as everything I hear indicates no golf, no fishing, pretty much no nothing right now.   Are we technically allowed to trailer our boats without getting hassled and fish under the quarrantine ?  THanks -
