PreSpawn Bassin'

[NJSquatch]

Decided to give the panfish and trout a rest on Saturday and see what the green carp were up to. Hit up a shallow water lake to find the water temps at 62 :eek:

It was game on with the chunksters hitting all the traditional moving baits. Square bill, spinner bait, chatterbait, and stick bait.

Finished up with 5 fish to 3.5#. All the fish were healthy and super chunky. Had a 15" weigh 2.25#. They are feeding up well for the spawn.

Also missed a muskie. I couldn't move it off the shoreline and it thrashed like a mad man until the little squarebills hooks pulled.

Ha! People do some stupid sh*t when money is on the line. I much rather just enjoy catching and releasing. When your hobby starts to turn into a work scenario you are doing something wrong.

The weekend before I was the 74th boat to launch from Lee's and that was at noon!
There were 2 bass tournaments going on. Not sure why those guys drive all over the lake and get in everyone's way when all the bass are right in Van Every Cove.
