And they say tomato juice will get rid of the smell

Thanks scotteph. The two we got were on a point in about 2 to 4' of water. We did have one come up after a tube right next to the boat in deep water, looked to be about 3 to 4lbs. That's when we switched to crankbaits since they seemed to want something moving.

No fishing for me this weekend as I will be camping with the scouts at Camp Mack.  But look out next week!

Not sure if we will get out or not? I think they are calling for a rainy weekend. Pete, Camp Mack is right up the road from me, if it rains too hard don't think your gonna find shelter here!

Good luck if you go out Kinger! The forcast is looking a little better now, maybe we will be getting out somewhere after all.

We hit Blue Marsh yesterday again. We each got one largemouth, both between 15-18 inch. No pictures of them. We did get lucky enough to run into a couple more hybrids. They were in a different area than last week.

Thanks Ed!

Nice looking wipers you guys got there.

Thanks Frank! I was just doing some reading on the hybrids and they do indeed make a spawning run. Unlike most hybrid species, they are fertile and in some lakes actually do reproduce. Not sure if they reproduce at Blue Marsh but that confirms my theory of them making a spawning run.

Hey Scott the DNR must keep records on stocking so that might give some insight as to size of the stockeys. Then are there any fry or smaller fish out there that might lead you to thinking that they are spawning.

Nice fish scot. I'll have to try for them sometime.

Nice fish and great pics, Scott!  Everything went good with the scouts.  It only rained over night, not during the day. 

Interesting what you say about the wipers.  I thought that some make false spawning runs, but that the hybrids don't actually reproduce...I guess I learn something new every day!  My grand daughter catches them in the 12" range on a regular basis at the northern tip of the island (both sides)!

Glad to hear you had a good weekend Pete. Frank, they stock them in there every few years at least. Not sure how often? I'm pretty sure they make a spawning run in there because they are usually up lake or back the one creek arm in the spring. I really don't think that their successful in that lake, could be, but I'm sure it's in their instinct to try. In the biology report I read they are capable of reproducing and some lakes they must have confirmed hatches. Good luck on Tuesday Kinger! Collen, you gotta give them a shot sometime. They hit like a ton of bricks and the fight is awsome, as I'm sure your aware of seeing your big striper pic. Do you guys ever fish the flats for them?

I've never fished the flats but my buddy goes there every year, maybe one of these times he'll take me. I go out of Tighlman Island with my dad and brother every year in April. We've going down there for 6 or seven years now with a guide, we also go sea duck hunting with him in January.

From what I hear sea duck hunting is a blast! They say them birds really get moving!

Yeah they can move! Their hard to kill too, shoot em once and they hit the water then you got to boat around and try to shoot them again as they keep diving underwater. But boy is it fun. Our fishin and duck trips are really poker and drinkin trips with a little fishin and huntin in between

Glad to hear you got some Kinger! No rush on the pics, you got more important things to deal with.
