I dropped in at sun up and it was chilly, cloudy and breezy. Started with a buzzbait and never had a sniff. Tossed a Rock Crawler for another 20 minutes with nothing to show for it and a hodge podge of other stuff that did me no good. So I decided to run up Flat Creek. Water was 55.5 degrees when I decided I found a place I wanted to try. I tied on a jarkbait thinking "what the heck". And I am glad I did. Caught around 15 total but all were short of keeper length I believe. Still a great time. For living right on the water - I sure don' get out enough. Thanks for reading.

Cool boat!!

Great report. And I love the eagle story.

54lbs 8oz. Final answer. 😀

Holly cow, toads!!

Nice fish. Thanks for the report!!

I caught 7 or 8 in one area on the crawler in about 14 or 16 casts. The rest were scattered all over.

Thanks for the report Quillback!! I went today also, very similar results are you were seeing with the buzzbait. I had 15 or 20 total today but the Rock Crawler did the best for me.

That' fantastic. I am stuck in 3.... lol.

Bill, what is the water clarity over there at Baxter? The James has good color - at least it's perfect for what I like.

Yep. It' fine.

Put in at 6:30. Water was nice and calm. Just a beautiful day to be fishing. I threw some cranks, buzzers, worms and jigs. I had the best luck on the buzzers. Ended with 3 keepers, lost a 4 or so at the boat when I was grabbing the net - man was I mad. I lost another close to the boat that was pushing 6 I bet. It was a tank. Definitely the biggest fish this year for me. Water temp was 82. Fished until 10:45. Lake should calm down after today - and I can't wait!!

That's good. Let me know how you do - and don't catch all of them.
