FISHING METHOD ------- Casting Stick baits
BAIT/LURES USED ------- Rapala, Bomber, Smithwick
NOTES --------------------- Hey Folks!! I have neglected to enter a KDC fishing report in a while. Therefor I'm going to sum up the last few weeks. The fishing is hot in the Brady Bridge area. Early April the crappie and perch were high in numbers.,by the second week the walleye and stripers had shown up. I would cast from shore the last hour of light and then the first hour or two of dark. Several walleye in the area and a occasional striper. Pushing toward the 3rd week of April the bridge area had really heated up. I've witnessed other anglers catch and release some beautiful smallmouth bass. The Walleyes at this point are a mix bag in size. The crappie are peaked at thier spawning period. Stripers are totally hit or miss. Been hitting it hard trying to put my finger on the stripers but they got the upper hand on me lol
caught several nice fish so far.

NOTES --------------------- My buddy Andre has been begging me to get him some crappies. We succeeded landing over 30 with a mix of Bass all small it was like we were in a nursery. Our biggest a whopping 16 3/4 incher. Did not weigh it, actually I forgot because Andre caught and is not a member and I wanted to get this big breeder back into the lake before she was stressed. He could not buy a bite until I told him which color to try. Boom first cast his largest crappie of his life. I made him promise all big fish go back. Only keep 11 to 12 inchers to eat and a limit of 3 or 4 in my boat.
