Wow, nice fish you guys landed. They run about 5lbs a piece? Ya i agree with you on the boaters, they have no respect for others. THat pisses me off. I only have a 12 foot aluminum boat so i really have a hard time going some places. If i fish long i goto the dnr past tum tum but i have not been producing much down there. where do you guys launch? the $7 fee place right after nine mile falls? Well anyhow, awsome fish man, i am going to go hit newman lake up early tomorrow morning? Anyone have any tips on newman for me? I am going to try top water pretty hard in the morning.

* PRACTICE CATCH AND RELEASE*

newman is a tough lake i would suggest fishing in 6-12 foot of water using brush hogs or any slow presentation plastics

We Launched at nine mile state park. I did not have a scale with me that day but I would guess theywent about 5 pounds each, we got 3 that size and a bunch of 2 lb smallies. I agree with BASSMAN1 if your going to fish Newman take your time and fish slow. Have a GOOD TIME

I have only fished nine mile area once. Where did u find those pads? Looks like great cover.
Your report said black was working do u ever have luck with watermelon or pumpkinseed?
