Fished a night tournament and had caught a majority of our fish right before dark. The water temp was 67 and most fish already off the bed. We caught our fish on rage bugs and shakey heads on steeper rock walls on the main lake.

White BassTechniqueTrolling Shallow (0-9')SeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureRiver ChannelsThe White Bass/ Hybrid run is starting on Herrington Lake. Spent the afternoon trolling anywhere from 5-20ft following river channels with a Rapala Shad Rap, various colors depending on water color. Lots of fun and easy fishing

Panfish / BluegillTechniqueBobbersSeasonSummerStructureDocksKids had a fun time catching a lot of bluegills from the pontoon, kayak and dock. They had to sort through many scrappy smaller fish to find the quality size gills. The shady areas of docks and main lake bluff walls were the primary locations. Vertical jigging or casting a float and jig to the dropoffs or shaded areas proved to be the most consistent presentation. Great way to get young kids hooked on fishing!

Mid-lake had more color than on recent trips, thanks to the recent rains. The spotted bass and crappie were hanging out deeper, around 20-30 feet under the docks. I caught 8 black bass and 5 crappie, and both species seemed to love the baits with little to no action—dead sticking was the key! What a fun day out on the water!
