Day 1, Friday
I fished my usual spot and got skunked. I moved to a spot that I knew I could catch something. When I got there I saw a guy from last year. He said he was catching a bluegill every once in a while using a small curly tail grub. I started fishing and immediately started catching bluegill of all sizes on bison trout magnets twitched. After about 20 I gave him some bison magnets and he started catching them too. I moved down a bit and found a school of bluegill bigger that 8 inches. He moved down and we both caught 20 big ones and they all went on his stringer. After we caught the big ones I moved down some more and caught 3 keeper crappie and he caught 1 all on the bison tm. He caught a 16 inch white bass and I caught 3 yellows. I also caught 5 small 8-10 inch bass too. My brother caught a 15.5 inch largmouth on a crappie magnet and it swallowed the hook so it went on mr. ed's stringer. Before I left he said he was going to have to order some trout magnets. He wanted to know what color jigheads to get and I recomended black.
Day 2, Saturday
This was probably the best day! I had 6 keeper crappie and I kept 4. All the fish were jet black or so full of eggs they looked like they were going to pop. They put up a huge fight on 2 pound test. I also caught 2 huge 16 inch white bass, around 100 smaller bluegill, 15 bigger bluegill, and a huge yellow. They would only hit a bison trout magnet twitched slowly.I tried crappie magnets of all colors but they wouldn't touch it. There was no one in sight and I had the whole place to myself. It was cold, rainy, and miserable but it was still fun. My brother didn't come with me because he was turkey hunting and he found a huge shed.
Day 3, Sunday
I got to go out after church. I got there about 3. I stayed until dark. I didn't catch any crappie at all. I caught 100 smaller bluegill (under 8 inches) and 12 big bluegill (over 8 inches). I had one huge white bass that was 17 inches and 3 huge yellows about 10-11 inches. I also had a bunch of smaller 8-12 inch bass and one 13 inch spotted bass. I attached a pic of the spot. All on the bison trout magnet twitched. Zero fish on crappie magnets. Water was a lot clearer, probably 4 foot of visibility. No one else ever showed up and I had the whole place to myself again.
Saturday was the best, Friday is following that, and Sunday was the worst. And I had a bite every cast sunday!
