A Couple of Fishing Reports

Jimmy and Glen headed back out on the Lake yesterday and had another great day. They caught 37 bass, mainly all on jigs on drop offs near the spawning beds. They worked the shell beds pretty hard.

Jimmy said the day was "all right."

That shows you how spoiled he has become over the fishing at the Lake. I ribbed him a little about being greedy.

Here is Glen with the best fish of the day another 7 pounder.............



Also Brad Blanks took his little girl Abby out for some bream fishing.

Here is his report.................

I signed my 7 year old daughter, Abby, out of school early today to take her bream fishing. We fished beds all over the lake using crickets and caught 32. We kept 20 of them and she wants to fry them up this weekend.

She and I had an absolute blast and Abby already wants to know when we are going fishing again.

This is not her first fishing trip but by far her most successful. She wanted me to wait and clean the fish tomorrow so she could take them to school and show her class all the fish she caught. We settled on printing out some pictures.

Thanks to Brad for sending that in. Here is Abby with some of her catch.............

The Boys Had Quite A Day

Jimmy and Glen got down to the Lake around 10am yesterday morning. From 10 to 5 they caught 24 bass. Not bad, but a little slow by their standards. But luckily they stuck with it until almost dark.

From 5 to 7 they went back to a shell bed to give it one more try with some jigs and they caught 21 more.

They threw back 18 that were over 17 inches!

Their best 5 weighed 33 lbs combined. Over 6lbs for an average. In a team tournament, that would be tough to beat any day.

The Lake is just getting better and better size wise.

Here are some pictures of their best three. An 8 and two 7 pounders..............................

Fishing Report

Jimmy and the Coach had a good day Friday, despite dodging some bad weather. They got in some fishing between rain storms in a five hour period and caught 34 bass.

They found a good school of bass off a pier in about 4-5 feet of water. Jimmy said they were looking for any kind of depth change near shallow water. They used crankbaits on this pattern.

Jimmy will be down some this week because he has taken his vacation to fish. He thinks this is going to be a very good week. It should be. The weather and moon phase look to be ideal.

They also caught a few using jigs on the levee.

This is a picture of Coach with a spawned out fish, this fish will be a 8-9 pounder this fall.

One That Didn't Get Away

This big bass was caught by young John Tait Garner recently at the Lake. Most who saw the fish think it is the biggest they have seen caught at the Lake.

John Tait landed this beauty using a pig-n-jig while fishing with his dad Gary.

Gary says that now instead of watching the TV shows most youngsters his age watch on Saturday morning, John Tait watches all the bass fishing shows.

Congrats to John Tait on his big catch.





Thanks to Debbie Saik for sending in the pictures.

Fishing Association Meeting Re-Cap

We had a great turn out, around 40 if my count was right.

The food was wonderful. Thanks to Trey McLean for the ribs, his wife for the beans, Debbie Saik for the potato salad, and all others who contributed to the meal.

Albert Saik gave a report on the results of the shocking of the Lake. We got a good report.

The limits are the same. Please keep ALL bass 17 inches and under. 10 bream per day. Please keep all crappie, catfish, and yellow bass.

There have been reports of stripped bass being caught. Please be sure and keep those if you catch one.

Richard Painter gave a financial update on the Fishing Association. It is in very good shape.

Albert also provided maps of new structure along with GPS coordinates for the new structure. If you would like one contact Albert or send an email to me and I'll pass it along.

Thanks to every one for coming out.

I took this picture before the meeting. I thought it was funny that we have this big ole lake but that it wasn't good enough for these guys....................

Fishing Report

The fishing has been good lately.

Jimmy Pickle and Coach Robinson had another good day, catching 27 bass. They reported some were on the beds while others had come off the beds.

25 were caught on jigs while 2 were caught with lizards.

Coach shows off a couple caught on this trip........................

A Very Nice Crappie

Mrs. Wilkerson caught this big slab out at the Lake. Thanks to her husband Jim for sending it to me. She also landed a 30 lb catfish on a 6 pound test line. Hope to get that picture soon.

I also understand Gary Garner's son caught a monster bass. I will try to get a picture of that too.

Good Day Yesterday

Despite still being limited by using the little jon-boat, Jimmy Pickle and Coach Robinson had a good haul yesterday. They got 34 bass using jigs and plastic lizards in shallow water.

While reading the Clarion Ledger fishing report today I noticed the Rez has temps of 62-65 degrees, with shallow backwater spots hitting 70 degrees.

The Lake is usually ahead of the Rez on temps so it makes sense that the bass would have been so shallow.

Jimmy said that they were not on the beds yet.

I've got to get Jimmy a better camera. He sent me a cell phone picture of Coach with a nice fish that looks good on the phone, but didn't transfer well to the blog here.

Send along your reports, if you have any.
