We just need Pickwick to stop spilling now.

First trip with planer boards today had 8 keepers about that many throw backs fishing 5-6 ft water about another week it ought to be good

Went sniping and caught some today. Kept five and lost a couple of really bigguns besides all the shorts. Well technically I wasn't sniping , but I thought it sounded cool. Actually it was more of a float and fly deal.

I'll be sauger fishing at daylight Saturday. Looking forward to it. Pickwick is still spilling so that will greatly limit our options as far as where we can fish, but I still expect to catch a few at least.

They have been biting really good, haven't been since the flood gates have been on though so that's definitely going to change things.

Yep. This was the best start to the "season" if you will in a good many years. Fish were already being caught all up and down the river.

Nice. I dont snipe. I like to find a big clump and sit and pick at em

 

[Wooden Arrow]

would early morning still be best or will they respond better as temp rises

i do best in early morning unless it is overcast. overcast/cloud cover seems to bring them up...it warming up sure doesn't hurt!

Went back today but they weren't much in the mood.Caught a few shorts and a couple of 12 inchers and a few bgills.Weathermen missed it here, said 4 mph sw wind changing to NE in afternoon. Pretty much calm and lots of sun . Needed that wind for a little chop on the water for the bite.

Yall better go early tomorrow in order to get a parking spot at the ramp. Every body and his brother was out today.
