Fresh Surfside Park Fishing Reports

The deep weed edges are really producing the good numbers, and definitely putting out some big girls!!

Got these guys out for a mid summer morning fishing trip and they got bit!

Been a great week on the water. With plenty more to come! The Bass are being caught in the usual post spawn weed flat edges. Ned rigs and drop shots are on fire! Book today, and let Capt. Dusty put a smile on your face!

Today we caught some pike to begin the trip. Then it was time to bass fish. All the fish were caught on plastics in 4-6' of water.

Well, the spring has certainly started out with a bang. Spring Crappie fishing is in full swing with some really good size present this year. Bobby Garland Baby Shads on a 1/32oz jig under a Rocket bobber has been the trick. Well, it's always the trick. With our opener coming quickly this weekend we will be switching things up for some larger fish! Book today! Capt. Dusty

Ice out Crappies are so fun when you locate them. We first made a sweep of the lake using side imaging looking for any remaining green weeds. This lake in particular had no weed growth so we started working the bottom edge of the break-line. We located a school of crappie using Side imaging then went to work using forward facing sonar. The fish were a little lethargic to where we had to switch to light jigs, minnows, and a rocket bobber set up. The best technique was to cast upwind of the school and let your jig/minnow drift over top of the school letting the waves do the work. A key part in detecting the bite was by using a light jig (1/32oz) no split shot weight added. This let the rocket bobber lay sideways, so when a crappie hit your presentation it stands the bobber up right to indicate a bite.
