i found a bunch of silver bass today near osceola.
i was fishing a mouth of a backwater area (where i caught and saw alvinmack catch a bunch last week) without much luck until i saw them slashing at baitfish out in the main chanel. then i caught one after another twitching a floating rap. i was in the midle of a serious feeding frenzy. every few minutes they would start chasing baitfish on the surface all around me. didn’t catch any walleye today and i took your advice and used a rattletrap and that didn,t work for me either. caught 3 eyes last tues and 3 more saturday on crank baits and jigs but just can’t get into enough for a meal.
nice to meet you.
i met you a few weeks ago down on pool 2.
also it was nice to meet alvinmack and sliderfish last week.
good luck

that makes me feel a little better since you seem to be a pretty good stick. i was on the water by 5am friday and hit a bunch of wing dams and got skunked again. (i love being on the water but hate getting skunked!) have only caught 1 fish in the last 3 trips. i do ok in the fall but really struggle winter-spring.
hope you have better luck next time.

launched my 17′ alumacraft phantom today at the 494 landing with no problem.
i chopped away some of the lip today so there is not much of a drop left.
thanks alot steve for your work on the landing to make it possible for me to go fishing today even though i didn’t land any walleye’s. lost one about 5# and caught a couple of carp and shad that actually bit the jig.
thanks again steve and thanks for all the great info you post on this site.
