First top water hit of the 2023 year! And boy look at her. About 10 yards out from the bank, this girl and her school friends were swimming in open water only 4-5ft deep. Walking up to the water they were already smashing food off the top so I immediately grabbed a floater and started quick walking it back with slight pauses in between. Sent her back to lay more tacos. Fish on!

Do you hear those big blow ups? That’s the dinner bell, Son! I always spend the first few minutes at a spot watching and listening before I cast. Easy choice to go with a walking topwater when you see em belly floppin. Fish on!

Lots of activity, fish are definitely on the move. Had a lot of success on both jigs and lures colored white. Clear water and bright sunshine in the morning. School of tacos right off the point in some shallow water. Muddy/rocky bottom. Happy Mother’s Day to all you mamas! Fish on!

Crappie
Fishing for crappie before the storm rolled in, this guy smacked it soon as it hit the water. Early morning, very shallow, high, murky water. Everything is hitting white right now. Fish on y’all!

Early morning bite was hot! Crappie all up and down the dam, pretty shallow around 9 o’clock. White and pink seemed to be the favorite. Omnia doesn’t sell the Bobby Garland Strol’r but I had a lot of tacos hitting a 2.5” black and white strol’r. Bass and crappie both like the tail action on that thing. Fish on y’all!

Hitting it on the fall. The slower the bait moves the better chances of a bigger fish hitting. Seems to be the pattern for me at Holden. Going up and down the dam these tacos were 5-7’ deep. Fish on y’all!

Don’t recommend going at the hottest part of the day. Hunting was tough but we brought home the nuggets. I’ve seemed to find the bigger crappie like a slow falling bait, most of the small ones will usually grab it on the reel back. Fish on!
