It is going to be weird watching the NCAA's playing in empty stadiums. Maybe they'll do canned crowd noise, kind of like a laugh track on a TV comedy show. Masters is not that far away, wonder if they'll ban fans from that too.

Congrats to the wife, nice fish!

That's interesting, eventually someone will break it on social media who this guy is.

Glad to see you can make it. I can't think of anything off the top of my head we need, RPS may think of something. Any snack stuff that anyone brings usually will get eaten, and if you have leftovers you can take them home.

According to Basstrak, Cherry now has an 8 lb. lead. It will be tough for anyone to catch him, it could happen, but someone will have to get a few really big fish.

Looks like they are running water, my guess is they are going to try and take it down to 1120.

Looks like the numbers have stabilized in China.

Haven't watched any live coverage, didn't have any time, but might catch some today. Cobb killed me finishing 50th, I really expected him to do well. I do have 3 guys fishing today, but only one, Lester, has a shot at winning.

You can start wherever.

Well thanks for the report, it sure is fun to catch them on the SB, too bad those suckers wouldn't still bite it on tourney day! I remember several years ago there was an FLW tourney on Beaver and Jimmy Houston was in contention the first two days catching them on a spinner bait, 3rd day it slowed down for him, but he still made the cut, and then on day 4 that bite went away on him too.

HA!, He'll never fess up to the hot color. And if he does mention one, it's probably a decoy. 😀

Better than we did, myself and Tom from Eagle Rock launched at dawn and got off the water about the time you started. We found a few bites early on the Ned rig, and it was one of those mornings where we could get a lot of bites but had trouble hooking them. I think we ended up with 16 between the 2 of us and 3 of those were keepers, probably missed 20 bites at least. The ones we caught were in 15-40 FOW, we didn't try back in any of the coves. When that wind started up we fished it for a bit and said the heck with it.

I haven't been fishing Beaver lately, 2 years ago the smallmouth fishing was really good down by the dam. Thought I was on to something, but haven't been able to get them like I did then, so I just have been going over to Table Rock or fishing the Bella Vista lakes. I do like to fish Beaver when the stripers are hitting top waters which usually starts in May. I do plan to get out on Indian creek sometime in the near future, I'll give a report, good or bad.

Thanks for the write up Bill - I feel like I was out on the lake with you watching you set it up and fish it!

I lived in Weymouth MA, while working and going to school. Had a pretty busy life at the time, but when I had time I would go down to the Cape and fish Mashpee-Wakeby. In the summer I would fish a black Jitterbug at night, wet wading, and had some nights where I just killed the smallies. That was fun. I believe the pressure has increased since then, but I'm sure it is still pretty good fishing.

I was curious what the world record for a yellow perch is, and it is 4 lbs. 3 oz. Set in 1865. Looked at a couple of state records in yankee land where those things are native - didn't see any over 3 lbs. So any perch over 2 lbs. is a biggun.

Well that is good news for Hook, Line and Sinker. And Tackle Warehouse.

Well I could not match Bill and Docknit, but I did get a few today. There was an early bite then things tailed off considerably about 10 AM. I caught 15 bass today, 13 of them before 10 AM. Thought I was going to have a 25-30 bass day, but it didn't happen. Last time I was out on TR, about 2 weeks ago, I could not get a bite any shallower than about 20 feet. Today, I could not get a bite any deeper than 15 feet. Things have changed, even thought the water really hasn't warmed up much - I saw a temp of 48 when I left. Fish were on the Ned rig, I did try some cranks, jerks and a spinner bait, but no joy there. Had several solid keepers, but nothing really big. No smallmouth today for me either, just K's and largemouth. My buddy the ramp goose: Couple of fish pics from today: This post has been promoted to an article

Nice ones! I have fished Sardis a few times in the summer, we trolled Bandit 300's and always caught fish. Those lakes get hammered, but in spite of the pressure they still put out a lot of crappie.

I recognize the name, but don't know anything about him.

Very nice, sounds like they are moving in!

From the Washington Post: The coronavirus has been circulating undetected and has possibly infected scores of people over the past six weeks in Washington state, according to a genetic analysis of virus samples that has sobering implications for the entire country amid heightening anxiety about the likely spread of the disease.

Yeah, I thought they were 2 or even three day events. Seems like they used to be, but I might be remembering wrong.

Winner had 19-5 and the co-angler winner had 18-14.
