The bite is officially on! I fished the view today from about 3:30 to dark with my wife and kids for about 2 hours and then djremo till dark. We covered alot of water as usual but found fish in concentrated areas. I probably saw 35 tigers today, 50 or 60 smallies, and hords of crappie.
After some fallows on Cemetary and middle inlet djremo and i headed to spring cove and started to pound the shoreline with spinnerbaits and j-13's. After only 5 minutes i hooked up a 27" razormouth and let djremo reel it in the rest of the way. He thought that was awesome until we moved out of there and headed back over to middle inlet. We pulled up on our weedline and immediately spoked 2 large tigers. The water had laid down and was like glass. I though to myself after seeing the way the tigers had been acting i would throw a buzzbait for the last hour. 2nd cast i had a huge tiger fallow for 30' or so and then dropped off. Remo put on a brand new buzzy and started to cast as i was telling him about the wave you get when they fallow. Not 2 minutes later he had a fish fallow from some thick brush and then back off. I told him to slow down and it sank a little. I said to speed it back up to get it on top and immediately the fish began to chase again. It seemed like an eternity waiting for the fish to hit and then it happened and the rest is history. There is no hope for remo now. He is ADDICTED! He had a good fight and finally landed the 36" tiger. In awe of the size i got a couple pics and then he got a crash course in releasing them. The fish swam off with a sore lip.
There were spots today with tremps in the low 60's. The bass are definately looking for beds or are already on them. The tigers have somewhat assumed a summer pattern and the crappies are in close to the bank and brush.
Hey remo, BAM!!!! Congrats man. Next time let's get you a 40+"er.
