Got on a lipless bite! That was exciting, 58F was the water temp and the pattern for today was all my catches where at the end of docks.
Fished Kerr Reservoir ( Buggs Island) for my club tournament and finished 5th. I caught all my fish on a nail weighted fluke. You had to let it sink and watch the line as you twitch it. Surprising how light the bite can be.
Had the chance to hop in a local tourney today with my good friend. After a very epic day on the water, we emerged victorious with our bag weighin in at around 25lbs along with a Big Fish 👑. 8/6/6/3/2
A couple of fish; more importantly, I am not bundled up for winter. Spring may have sprung. :-)
Here's my PB Largemouth ... A present I gave myself on Christmas Day 2024.... Oconee River, Dublin, Georgia. On an old school texas rigged black & Blue worm... 24.25", 7.62lbs.. (should've weighed 8lbs, some people say)...
Fun day today. Caught probably 30-35 on the Upper Chesapeake with a custom crankbait, Colorado blade spinnerbait, and a creature bait. At one point we were catching them almost every other cast. Not huge ones but probably a 16-17# bag if we were in a derby.
Rocking the jersey for the big tournament later this year to raise money for research for my son’s auto immune disease.
So what do you think we are looking at? It was close to a point, a flat, and a saddle. I definitely think the shad spawning too (second picture). So I thought maybe catfish, but with the last video "Catching Spawning Bass" I think it could be bass spawning deeper since it is on Lake Juliette which has clear water.
5lbs 9oz, 21 1/4” on a 1/8oz Purple Rain SMH kit. Usied a Level NGSX610LF with a 1000 size Stradic spinner. Everything used except the reel was bought at the SUF retreat.
