OH my thats rough. Well good luck . Easy pickings when you find those boiling pots of alewifes busting the surface

I was also out last night and caught 3 largemouths and 2 stripers about 16" and 23" the action is really slowing down.

I was out last night at a different spot and got skunked.  May be headed out again tonite to the spot I was at 2 nights ago the action was a lot better.

Man sounds like your doing a lot better than the rest of us. I can not only not catch a striper on an alewife but can catch a carp on it

Chris,

No photo. I still can't find my camera. I have a feeling it was left on the side of the boat one night and didnt make it home. But I'm definately not telling the old lady that. I'm about ready for the summer, lazy fishing. I'll be in touch. We can hit the cats and stripers one of these evenings. I got the worms, you bring the minnows, if you still have some.

Cutter, sweet that right there is what its about, kudos to you for being a good Dad and taking her!

Now you're giving away all of the secrets... Congrats. Looks like she is proud of the catch (and Dad must know something).

Anyone have any suggestions on spots to go to to catch a lot of bluegill, perch, crappies and large mouth bass. I will be taking kids out and want to keep them entertained. Haven't fished Lake Arthur in 20 years. Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks

never go wrong out there with a worm on the bottom, catch anything, and you'll be entertained no matter what

Went out last night and had a bluegill bitten in half and landed a nice largemouth really windy
Next week should be better with the moon peeking

Try O'Donnells on 19. Not sure of the hours tho I'd call them.

Fished Lake Arthur two times in the last two weeks. Not one fish? Fished yesterday. Bass jumping everywhere, no hits. 3 guys in my boat and 5 guys in another boat fished a cove all night. We saw the other boat catch 1 fish. Is August just really slow, or do we suck?

Alewives were everywhere making it look like it was raining. Whats the best lure to use when the Alewives are everywhere and the bass are jumping.

Thanks

Nope - we were at lost cove and across the lake from Lost cover. On a pontoon though.

Looked like it was raining alewifes. Hard to compete with all of them I guess. No one hit.

Went out tonight catfishing with a couple a buddies, we had a boat anchor right on our point and fished with them for a little bit, they had about 5 kids in a 12 foot jon boat, definately wasnt safe but they were cool. Anyways we got into some nice cats I'll post some pics tomorrow too tired to wait for the upload, just had the site opened when i clicked on my puter

Fished hard today and caught nothing but 1/2 of a dozen catfish.  We marked a lot of fish suspending in 20 - 25 foot of water well below the thermocline.  That and the algae bloom have us wondering if the lake is trying to turn already.
