I went out to the Goon today for the float tube meet-up and got there around 7:00. I went over to Paradise cove to meet some of the tubers and do a little fishing. I met some pretty cool people today. All of them were nice. One of the guys I met, Sean, gave me some hand poured worms and stuff and I used one of those and caught a 1 lb 10 oz bass. Thanks Shawn! I moved down and then started fishing for crappie. I got 9 of those, all ranging from around 1 to 2 lbs. The fish have moved up into the shallows and I am thinking next weekend will be when the fishing will start to get really good! Most of the bass were very spooky, but the crappie seemed to be fine. I am definitely getting better at sight fishing.
Nice, healthy first fish of the day: 1 lb 10 oz
1 lb 5 oz
10 oz
1 lb 12 oz
1 lb 13 oz
1 lb 11 oz
This one was frisky and escaped while I was trying to weight it! I'm guessing around 1 lb.
1 lb 7 oz
This one also escaped and I'm thinking it was around 1.5 lbs.
Note the deformed lip: 1 lb 1 oz
