Out to McBride last night with decent success.
We fished the south arm and launched from the campground landing on the north shore.
I’m happy to report that fishing was pretty good. We ended up with 7 fish in 4 hrs but probably could have had more if we would have stayed a little later.
The good news is there were a TON of active feeding fish in this part of the lake right now. The BAD news is that they are feeding on about a million minnows that are all over the entire lake. Bass were blowing up everywhere on the lake from 4pm-8pm. They would come up and smash the minnows often times throwing the minnows and themselves out of the water. It was a pretty cool site. Some other cool sites that we saw on the lake were an abundance of wildlife.
We saw a fawn still will spots on it, we managed to get very close to that little dude as he/she seemed very curios of the boat. We also saw a swan, a beaver that about rammed the boat, several herons and a small hawk. It was a pretty cool evening.
The fish came on the following baits. 1 fish on stick bait(wacky hooked), 1 on 10″ worm, 1 on sinking minnow, 1 on 7″ worm, 3 on a buzzbait.
Water temps were 81-82*.
Here’s a pic of the biggest fish(16″) caught on the stick bait, she was a real fighter and was a really a faint green.
Get out there and get ya some!
