I was in the same area today at the same time, and I can confirm BB's report to a tee. Put in at Eagle Rock around 11:00 or so, and stayed out till about 4:00 or maybe 5:00 when we pulled out. Went north first, up to around Big M and that area up there, then back south, eventually all the way down to the Holliday Island area. We caught little bass on craw pattern cranks and a jerkbait, but nothing on plastics (I accidentally left my 'good' jigheads in the back seat of the truck though; typical). The water temp always measured 49.something, saw some variance, but never five-oh. The catches we did have seemed to be coming out of shaded areas into light on the wind blown shore side. Talked to some guys at the ramp when we were leaving and they had come out for Crappie and Whites and had had a terrible day.

No, I haven't been on recently; too much bad weather has kept me off the water. Not just because I can't make it out those days, but because I have to catch up on work and other things when the weather isn't keeping us in. Spring is very very close, though.

Thanks, guys! Glad to be onboard.

Hi everybody. I'm new to the forum - I can't believe I didn't know about it till recently. I live in Garfield, AR, which is centrally located to all of the places I regularly fish. Looking forward to getting to know you folks here on the site.
