Fishing Forum

Finally got back to fishing awhile today after mowing and yard work had been getting in the way of my fun the last couple of days. The water was quite a bit lower than the last time I was out. We fished from around 9:00 until 12:30 and caught 3 bass and 8 crappie in an average of 5-7 ft. of water. Debbie caught a 3.3 lb. bass early in the HBSP slough and we worked our way around some other sloughs and picked up a few crappie on BG jigs and a Charlie Bee Slider. There's a bass in the HBSP slough that was trying to shake a Rat-L-Trap ( not mine ) out of it's mouth that we watched for about 45 minutes. It must have tried a dozen times and you could just hear the lure rattle everytime it shook it's head. It was a nice bass - I hope it finally worked it out of there. Water temp was around 61.5 and the wind picked up 'again" after 12:30 or so we said maybe we'll just go back out tomorrow morning instead of fighting the wind. We watched an electro-fishing survey for awhile going on in the HBSP slough around 1:00 and looked like they were netting quite a few fish but couldn't really tell what they were putting in the boat.<br />
