Report- March 10&11

[MstStudent10]

Put in at Tucker Hollow on both days... Here's how it turned out..

WED- Fished from 9:30-3:00. Water temp I found was 52 when I started, and 56 when I stopped fishing. Mostly sunny on the day. Caught 12 bass with 5 of them keepers. Not anything huge, but consistent. I think all 12 fish were in the 13-16 inch range. Best was a 3 lber. They would bite about anything. Caught 1 on a spinnerbait, 1 on a jerkbait, and 1 on the wigglewart. Once the sun started shining I switched to the jig and the rest came on it. The bite was extremely light and if they felt you at all would drop it. I missed about 10 more on occasions thinking it was the bottom and waiting a split second too long. They preferred a smaller profile jig and trailer. Fished steep rocky channel banks, and the water was pretty dirty about 1.5 foot visibility. If you didn't get a bite within 5 feet off the bank you could reel in as they were sitting right on the shoreline.

THURS- The size definitely came on thursday. Fished from 7:30 to 1:30. Fished the same spots as on Wed but after the rain wed night, the temp read 50.5 on the same bank it had been 56 the day before. Thought that drop would halt the fish but was wrong. Caught 10 fish with 6 of them keepers. With the clouds and wind they absolutely nailed the spinnerbait. Caught all except 1 keeper on the blade, the other one coming on a jig. Best five went for 14.5 lbs, including a 14 inch kentuck, and anchored by a 4.5 and a 3.5... Most all the fish came before 10 o'clock then it slowed way down. Water temp climbed back up to 52.5 by the time I left.

The lakes are about to bust loose, good luck out there guys!!

ps, trying to upload pictures of the big ones but says error? oh well.
