Was on the lake this evening and caught my first two yellow bass from there. Got mixed feelings about them.

Are they stocking them...........

Yellows are funner than HECK to catch.............I wore them out a couple weeks ago at KY lake.

HUNDREDS at a time.

Geo, I sent an email to the district biologist asking him that. I would think not but will post when I get his answer.

No doubt they would help with the shad population.

Well that was fast. Got a reply that said they had been seeing them for about 3 years and have no idea how they got in there. Also said they had stocked 8.5 million more walleye fry this year.

If you are going out of Osborne, what about going up river (left) and fishing around the island and up through there. The points are flats and have grass. The two cuts and the creek up from the island, are good places. I personally like the creek. Caught good bass through there this year. That creek is a good place for someone with a bobber and live bait.

has anyone been focusing on fishing for smallies.....if you have, what have you been using...might be ging this weekend to try and catch some

[GeoFisher]

As normal.............man it was TOUGH............2 bites...........no fish .

I think I'm getting the idea though............SAVE your MONEY and go to KY. .

Actually I was trying some new spots tonight, and I will try them again but I think I either REALLY ****, or fishing is just slow.

the last couple times i've been up there i have been targetting smallies. just been fishing A LOT of soft plastics, notably crawfish imitations on shaky heads, texas and carolina. most of my luck has been on trick stick worms lately on shaky heads (varying weight) in crawdad similar colors for this time of year. had some good luck, with the largest around 4 lbs (these are the first times i have ever fished for smallies, so i am just givin you what worked for me. i've caught about a dozen smallies in my life, all this year, so i'm VERY new when it comes to fishing for them). i had some people with me try burning some spinnerbaits over deep grass with no luck.

steveM4A1...are u fishing points or what im new to fishing for smallies also.

[SteveM4A1]

i always fish the main points for largies but have tried for smallies with no luck? i figured it would work but hasn't for me yet. i'm usually fishing 10-15 ft of water by some rocks
