Fished by the dam south of Foster Ave this afternoon. Caught an 11" crappie on the first cast with a rooster-tail spinnerbait.



Also caught 12" LM bass and another crappie (10"), both on the same spinnerbait.





Saw two other guys there catch about 10 LM bass in the 12-15" range between them. They were using plastic baits. I tried some plastics for a while, but didn't have the patience/skill for it. I'm going to keep on trying though.

Btw, was that you, Jason, on the west shore behind the football field? I couldn't be sure with the sun in my eye, and I had to leave.

That was me alright, Fan! Myself and Jason Napodano were working the "main point" for about an hour and a half from 5:45-7:15pm. JNap got a 14" largemouth bass on a soft plastic as well as a beauty 11" crappie. I managed a 10" bass and a couple of nice bluegill on nightcrawlers.

This certainly would have been the time to use an ultralight with a jig and waxworm because the bluegill were VERY active and hitting everything we threw.

A WCF outing and we didn't even know it! :D
I was going to surprise yous and show up there but work kept me away. Good to know the fish are getting more active. Good job guys.

Thanks George. Yep, that was me out there again this afternoon. I bet you were the one with the bike; next time I'll know to say hey. I managed to catch one crappie, one pumpkin seed, and three LM bass (around 10", 12", and 13"). The crappie was on a small jig, and the rest were caught on rooster-tails. Didn't take any pictures because wasn't planning to fish today.

The wind was really strong today, so I called it quits at around 4:45pm. I saw one guy fishing on the western wall catch a nice carp that must have been at least 10-15 lbs. Made me think of the monster carps that George caught last season.

See y'all out on the waters :)
Great job braves fan !!

My internet access is limited so instead of daily reports i'm leaving you guys with monthly summeries...

so far good month including a 14" crappie.
