Well, I worked way to hard to get what I got ..LOL!... Chunked a spoon for awhile then a Mepps then I started soaking crappie minnows and shiners around Bear creek. Caught 2 decent LM Bass 2lb and 2.5lb both on shiners, One channel cat, One gar, One bowfin, lost one nice slab Crappie at the boat and caught 2 crappie under 10". Saw lots of bait on the fishfinder, even saw alot of minnows cruising around, fished alot of different drops/holes and actually caught both LM Bass around tree roots in less than 3 ft of water. Saw some nice LM Bass caught by another guy using a football jig and craw in pumkinseed and brown. he caught a nice 5lb one right close to my boat as he eased by... " I jokingly said "Hey man that's my fish! " He laughed and said ok, you can catch it and dropped it back in..LOL!
There were several folks playing "Hooky" today from work..LOL!. Saw 2 guys catch a few small crappie and one small Striper. Water is still 51-52 degrees and even by late afternoon in the creek it was just 52 so we still have a little ways to go before it gets going. No shad, no one saw or caught any I talked to. The creek was popular today and everyone was chatting as they passed... 14 rigs in the ramp parking when I got there @ 9:30 There were only 2 left at 5:30 and I was one.
Not one of my best days but not a skunk! I'll be so glad when Spring arrives!!
Everything was caught on minnows. I did get one hit on a Johnson spoon and it pulled good for about 3 seconds...LOL!!
