Report Details
 I've been out on Nelson for the last two weekends (fri, sat, sun). The weather has been everything from rainy and cloudy to sunny and hot. Each day I've been out, me and my buddies have caught a total of about 30 fish all together each night. Most of them have been bluegill, but plenty of others. All of the carp we have caught were at least 6 lbs, worthless fish, but fun to catch. Hooked a Northern last night... got it right up to shore but before we could get it in the net... it snapped the line. Based on the size, i would estimate this pike was at least 8 lbs. Also caught a smallmouth last Saturday that weight 2lbs 9 oz. We've been using nothing but nightcrawlers and bobbers while fishing from shore and/or on the dock. Ticks are pretty bad as I'm sure they are everywhere else. Hope this all helps!

there arent any smallmouths in nelson. plenty of LMB though! good luck on your shore fishing, try throwing small twister tails on 1/8th oz jigs for crappies or use minnows under a bobber around weeds for crappies

Ooops... I guess I mis-identified. But it was definitely a Bass. This is the first year I've been fishing Nelson....  more or less because of the river situation. Good luck fishing!
