12.4 and 12.7 2018
The late fall, early winter bite is so much fun when it all comes together.
Nancy and I got out on a beautiful Sunday afternoon with the temps reaching 70 degrees.
We caught some nice spots spooning but the fun was on windy rocky points.
Nancy likes spooning and caught a few but they were some little guys.
As the wind picked up some nice fish started eating the Lucky Craft Staysee.
I went out on a solo trip yesterday the 7th and went looking for fish to spoon.
I wasn't disappointed as I REALLY found them.
Here is a pic of my graph.
I spooned and drop shot these fish in Crow Creek for a couple of hours in the afternoon. Ended up with 16 fish to the boat and a bunch got off as they came up.
As you can see they were stuffing themselves with shad.
The better fish came off the edge of the channel when I saw shad skittering around the surface of the water.
I would throw the Duo Realist Spin Bait at the school and my first cast brought a 18 3/4" spot to the boat.
I caught four more with this technique, 2 16" fish and one smaller.
Hopefully this bite will remain as the water temp was still 62 degrees.
