Melonies, Bass

Put in at hwy 49 bridge about 8 am, paddled to Parroits Ferry bridge. Stopping to try for some Bass. Caught a couple at every stop, nothing to brag about, fishing about 25' to 30' . Found a brush pile at lunch time, and tryed for crappe but no luck. Back at 49 bridge about 2:30pm Nice day hardly any wind.

what do they hit? (the bass)

did you mark any crappie? what did you try on 'em?

must have been a nice day!

I don't have a fish finder, so I try all brush piles and points. It seems to work most of the time, plus seeing the lake at various levels over the years helps.  For crappie I use a variety of mini jigs, for Bass I'll toss different colors and types of worms. Also instead of floating a night crawler like I do for trout, I'll drift a minnow.
All bass were released, one or two might have been over the size limit of 12", I rarely keep Bass

Hope it helps

Looks like a nice day on the lake. The water level is looking good.
We need a little warm weather and the bass will bite will pick up.

Thanks for the report.

beautiful weather & consistent fish action = gotta love it! Nice report and pics! Keep 'em coming!
