[HossFisher]

Nice fish everybody! I'm gonna see if i can get a few fish today for some open water pictures!

[Jordyn Kaufer]

I'm with ya bassboy,

i doubt i will get anything though because of the pressure system coming in and the water hasnt quite warmed up yet

[HossFisher]

Just got back in, didnt have much luck. Water is still a little cold yet.

Hit the lake again saturday afternoon in my float tube for about an hour and a half. Crappies were holding in a shallow bay. Nothing under 10" and a couple @ 11". They weren't holding as tight to the shore as before and were a little more spread out. Caught about 10.

The first fish to slam my jig was this LM bass about 15-16"...

Here's a few crappie of the crappies I caught too...

Can't wait for the bluegills to start heating up! Need some warm weather to get 'em going.

Yep, calf-hair jigs catch lots of fish. In the spring you can usually catch nice bass on 'em too. Good luck!

float tubes are the bomb!!!

[CALVINIST]

Got the afternoon off of work so I headed to the lake to slay some panfish in my float tube, and slay 'em I did! I caught about 25 crappies in less than 2 hours all between 10 and 11" with quite a few 11" fish.

Finally caught some bluegills. I caught three nice ones up to 8.5" right away...

Then I started pounding the slabs!

Gill defect on crappie...

Another pretty gill...

Never thought getting my hours cut at work could be so much fun!!!

[Craigums]

how big of a lake is that? look like a little private pond or maybe a shallow bay?

It's over a hundred acres, but I have been fishing in a small bay.

[fishface]

DON'T TELL!

[CALVINIST]

DON'T TELL!

Trust me, if I did, all fish would disappear! There are some gems out there.

[Craigums]

DON'T TELL!

Don't tell if its a pond or lake? Jeez, tough crowd

CrappieKeith,

What do you wear to keep warm in that float tube? neoprene waders?

[CALVINIST]

CrappieKeith,

I'm not Crappie Keith, I wish I caught as many mules as him!!!! I'm Casey. Anyway, I use neoprine waders paired with a pair of long underwear when the weather is cool, also some warm socks.

Calvinist and Cyberfish are fishing the same lake methinks! I see the same house in the background (the little a-frame porch thingy).

Looks like a fun lake, but be careful what you are posting!
