Tough Day Today And A Report From Marvin A BB Member

Fished the Glaize..channel banks and secondary points

We fished a short time today staying in the backyard as the engine is still out of commission. It was a tough day as there was very little wind and bluebird sky’s. We tried crankbaits, jigs and a buzzbait with no takers. The bass caught on a spinner was inside a pocket on the channel bank. The bass caught on a jerkbait was on a rocky ledge inside a main lake point that has several ledges that drop from a few feet to 25 feet. There were several banks that the shad were right up on the bank in a few inches of water. The bass were not active in these areas with no takers on a spinner and crankbait. We ran out of time as we had the monthly meeting in the mid afternoon otherwise we would have backed off the bank and drag a jig in 10-20 feet of water.
Report from Marvin a Bassing Bob Member:
Fished 11/30/13 around the 5mm to 7mm on the Gravois Arm. Water temp was 52 degrees. Air temp was around 56. Started fishing around 10:30 am.till 3:00 pm. Fished some main lake points and into the mouth of coves. Threw buzzbaits, jigs and spinnerbaits. No quality fish. With the largemouth not really biting we started picking up some nice white bass on jerk baits when the wind started picking up. We hit a spell when my son and I both had them hooked at the same time. All were quality whites, nothing small. We ended up with around fifteen fish in a hour and half. Lots of fun, when they hit , they hit like a ton. Usually when picking them up I pick up some small ones but not today all large whites. While we was disappointed with the large mouth bite it ended up being a great day on the lake.
