Title: Nesmith Lake 2/14/14
Post by: slabslayer on February 14, 2014, 04:07:56 PM

Hit Nesmith today with icebucketjohn and steeleneyes and cleaned up.  Fishing in 6-12 feet of water and catching bull gills and nice slabs.  Would've liked more of the slabs, but 8-9 1/2" gills all day, I'll take that.  Actually kept a few fish to eat tonight for the first time all season, looking forward to it!  Colors were all over the map, catch 1 or 2 and needed to change size and color.  One thing that continued true was not overloading the hook with bait; 1 or 2 maggots, or a single waxie.  More than that and they wouldn't touch it.  Oh, I also got a 15" bass on a jigging spoon!  Nice bonus, but thought it was a slab crappie at first.  Here's some pics.  ;D
