Twenty-nine in 2.5 hours is a fish every 5 minutes. That's flat getting with it.

Great info, Bill. Thanks for sharing. As for the rain, you guys need to quit worrying, go get you some brightly colored 3/8-ounce War Eagle spinnerbaits --- anything from chartreuse/white to coleslaw with double white willows, depending on how muddy it gets --- and go find yourself a good runoff. Make sure you spool up with at least 17-pound mono. This ain't finesse fishing. Your favorite squarebill crank will work in these runoff areas, too.

Thanks for the good report. Sounds like things are starting to happen all over the lake.
-
Nice day out with the young un. And thanks for the informative report.
-
Good job, man. Looking forward to taking a crack at em tomorrow.

There is NEVER a bad time to tee it up, unless it's raining and then that's a fishing day. -
I'll echo Bill's words, Bigmo. Great day and great report! Love, love, LOVE it when the spring blade bite starts. Seems like it's here a little early this year --- going by water temp, not the month or week --- but hey, that suits me just fine. CPR, folks.

Can't spot Christie a 3.5-pound lead on that lake. I'm predicting that it's over unless he falls out of the boat and drowns. He knows he should've won in 2013. He'll get it done this time.

Cool box, Balsa. I have some of those myself and can recall back in the 80s when I rarely went fishing without one tied on. I got back to fishing an old Deep Wee R some this winter but not enough.
-
In that case, dress em up, tie em on and put em to work!

This could be a really good discussion. I can see your point, Bo, and I agree that there are times when all you need to do is get the basic color scheme right and you're in business. But is this true all the time? Is the fantastic custom paint work of guys like fellow OA member Tim Hughes all for naught? I have personally seen times when I am convinced that the detail of a custom paint job made a difference in my catch rate. Members of the forum, what say you?

March is a good month for an old junk fisherman who isn't smart enough to put together a real pattern. One here on this, another here on that ... etc. -
It's been awhile (cape fair 2-29-16)

Not to mention some great meat. -
I must be missing something. You obviously can't buy most lures unpainted, so if the paint job isn't that important (i.e. doesn't need to be a work of art), why go to the trouble to repaint practically all of them yourself?
-
I think he said 47-50.
-
I haven't seen anything below 41 that I can recall. Ben Gillespie's water temp posts on here would be the best resource.
-
Good job, bo.
-
Good job, Dan. Lots of guys would've been happy to have those bass Saturday in the Everett derby.
-
Great to see kids will be involved. Look forward to meeting them.
-
You might be onto something there. Could probably squeeze in a logo for your little guy jigheads, too.
-
My fightin' days are over, Dave. I'm all rainbows, butterflies and unicorns now.
-
Great job. That spot is a freak!
-
Mike, don't let that one guy on here convince you that every fish lives in the middle of the lake. Ain't so, I tell you.
-
Great fish! Congrats!
-
Hope you have a very good trip. Shaping up to be a good spring.
