Baxter Area 11 21 2009

[Engr5]

Drove up to Baxter, put in around 8, white basscat, and point hoped toward KCity. Fishing was great from 8 until 10:30 with 6 keepers on wiggle wart including one 5 lb LM and one 3 lb SM. Also had 5 or 6 shorts and 2 keeper SM on football jig.

Lost contact with the fish around 11:00 and looked deep, shallow and in betweeen (remember Buck Perry), Got 2 kentucy's suspended over 60 ft and 2 short SM on jigs about 30 ft deep from 11 until 3.

Where did the fish go?

Thank you.

I didn't get free to go on the water until 10:00. Never did find quality fish like that handsome smallmouth. I did catch a steady progression of shorts until 3:00 when I had to come in. If 8 to 14 inch fish are your thing, try a green short worm on a 1/8 ounce jig head and scrub the bottom where flats drop into channels.

It was a great day to be on the water.

Hey Engr. We fished the same area, at the same time as you did on Saturday... with very similar results.

I wish I knew the answer to your question. All I can say is... it is tough during the middle of the day right now. Great in the early morning, great in the evening, crappy in the middle.

I have to agree with RPS (hey man, what's up?) though... great day to be out there!
