Was out the last two days on Main Channel fishing with limited live bait. I was able to catch and keep two on both days within a short period of time say an hour to an hour and a half.. After the second fish was caught I stopped fishing. This morning I marked some large schools of fish and one school was breaking after bait fish that was about 7 am... All this activity was around Betty and Becky's Creek....

I heard of a busting fish sighting in a bw creek this past weekend. Gotta admit i was kinda skeptical. Surprising really.

I was one of the doods who saw busting fish this past weekend - also in the BW arm. This was at the mouth of a creek, not up in it. Was a pretty large school.

I've seen them busting this time of year countless times in the evenings in the blackwater.

I can work with that. Dont mean to be asking for any secrets here, but guys seeing most action on Ales as opposed to gizz?

I think a lot of people are relying on the "follow Kenny" tactic lol. Heard there were 6 boats trailing him Saturday morning. So if all else fails follow Kenny!
We will be around too. Mostly a family trip so probably troll crank baits and jig.

I saw some busting the last 2 Saturday mornings on the BW. Decided to throw a Couple PBs on and pull the edges of the underwater hump where they were chasing bait. To my surprise one fish caught, another pull down with no hook set. Hooked another monster on a downline that snapped my 30# flouro leader at the boat. After the sun came over the trees all that action stopped immediately. Searched for some schools after that to jig some with no luck and ended up going to catch a cooler full of white perch. Heading outside of my comfort zone this weekend and exploring new fishing territory (for me) on the RR side.

I was fishing in the state park area tonight... Dropped my bait in the water and bam... Right on the surface. Later saw a bunch jumping in the same area... Fun to watch!
