Cornell University Biologist Randy Jackson has said in the past that fishing for bass on their spawn beds has no impact on the bass fishery. Now, this article:http://www.gofishn.com/gofishn/biologists-worried-about-round-gobies-ruining-oneida-lake-fishery/Which way is it Randy?
buddy and I both got our limit shore casting last night, south shore. 730 till 9pm. fun nightColor of the stickbait made a bigger difference for us.
So what color was hot last night?Last weekend I found that shallow shad raps in black/silver were better on friday but that thundersticks in madflash finishes were better on saturday night. Couple follows but couldn't get a second sniff on the SSR saturday.Also fished totally different sections of the lake both nights.
blue/silver /organge belly..#10 husky. never leaves one rod all season. Jerk it hard, it suspends, aggressive hit usually occurs at rest.I see your your taking a different approach Munson, good stuff, actually last night after limiting on my go to stick, I switched to jigging, an over sized hook..1/8 oz. jig to get a different bite, I like the jig bite better than tossing sticks. Don't get one on every cast like my buddy was doing last night, but a much better bite when they do hit, get to drill em when they suck it in. I like that.
Is it just me, or are the eye's running a little on the small side this yr. Been fishing from shore, but even the pics from the lake look like smaller fish.
