What were you using? The other day when I was there, I was "scrubbing" the bottom to catch the whites. Also, the weather has changed, I was down there ahead of the front. Sorry you didn't do better. I think they'll turn off until after the front blows through and we get another warm front in here. Spring fishing in the midwest is all about timing. By the way I fried some of the whites tonight. They were excellent!!! ... Wader

i used about everything in my box jig's,cranks,swim,jerkbait,inline spinner's. nuthing,BUT i went today on highway 17 at the saleen with my g-friends dad and we pulled out between the 2 of us 17 largemouth 2 stripes and 1 cat....all in around 2 hour's so that was a good pick me up from yesterday. and all the bass where averaging about 2 pounds each so that was very nice.

another funny thing...i caught them on a tiny pink ice fishing pole that's about a foot and a half long and my lure was a probly 5-6 inch plastic segmented shad crankbait.

also went nightfishing for some cat's at the park in tuscumbia last night...which i dont really care for fishing it,dont do very good there to often but i got plenty of bite's last night on my bluegill,nightcrawler and big butt minnow's i had sooo it's now 11 o clock and im gonna be heading out again in about a half hour to give it another shot right after i eat all these awesome mushroom's! hahahahaaaa. NONE FOR YOU!!!

I went to Bagnell today on my way to Columbia. I caught 7 bass (all 14-16 inches) 8 small crappie, 2 drums and 1 white. The fishing has slowed big time after the cold front. However, the fish are there and it's only a matter of time until it breaks loose. I watched one guy leave with 10 whites. For some reason there are a lot of Russians who fish down there. They can't read english so I had to educated them about not keeping the black bass from the river this time of the year.
