Fishing

[V98]

I found a few yesterday that wanted to play and the give the new Tenkara rod a work out.
About 10 Bass total and a one that went 19 inches which is my best of the year so far.

I’ve got a tenkara set up I bought from a forum member. This makes me angry I haven’t used it yet! Nice!

Great catch! You had a heck of a day.
Did the females have mature eggs or were they spawned out?
The blues we caught yesterday are two weeks or more from spawning. The eggs were still white, small, and milky looking.
Buddy caught some crappie last week saying they hadn't spawned yet, and eggs were immature.
Crazy spring if that is the case. Crappie are typically done two to three weeks ago around here.

Where are y’all fishing out of? I’ve spent a lot of time fishing on Toledo Bend, and my family had a lake house in Six Mile cove for about 15 years when I was a kid.

Dangerous lake. We fished it a couple years after it opened when I was a kid. Stumps everywhere and the idiots with 300 hp bass boats running 80mph can get insane on tournament weekends or holidays.
Our 14' aluminum with a 10 hp Johnson didn't stand a chance.

Still really stumpy. And yes this is the McDonald’s big splash tournament weekend. I’m not participating in it. But there will be hundreds of dumb a__es out there. Now a days they run 100 mph. Which is stupid.

Most have spawned. Out of 90 probably 10 percent had eggs.
