Anyone been out latly?

Was out on Eagle in Monticello on Saturday. Nice day, no one fishing besides our boat and our friend's boat. Nothing on Plastics at all, threw all different kinds from worms, flukes, senkos to no avail. Put on a white/silver spinnerbait and immediately started catching fish. All were fat, real fat, and fighting real hard. Most came out of the lily pads and near any trees/branches.

Hey Fluker... No offense. I'm just refering to some weird looks that I received as I was putting in. It very well could have been nothing. I guess I just wish I had a nicer boat is all. I'm guessing my weight would have been in the 15-16 lb range as they all seemed kinda chuncky. I found that same pattern to be working that you spoke of with one color and tactic producing noticably better than the others I tried. The fish could have turned on quite a bit more for me as I was out there a little later in the afternoon / early evening than you guys. It was a good time though.

Hey, I really didnt' mean to offend or stereotype... and I do beleive that your club is made up of good guys. Maybe someday I could get involved as it sounds very interesting. I to like to learn something new from each fish and every time out. Good posts and good info on that pattern... I concur fluker, and again; I didn't mean to send the wrong mesage.

No problem at all Fever. I understand. I've seen many times where someone in a boat similar to what you described went and put a whooping on the big fancy bass boats. Even if someone gives you looks, don't worry about it. Who cares how you fish, or what you fish out of. 15-16 lbs would have been top 8 out of all those guys.

Many of us pre fished the day before and at about 5PM the bite really turned on. On one side, you probably did hit it at the best feeding time, but on the other side, you just have 24 guys pounding on them for 8 hours too. So good job!
