Bill Babler Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 White River Outfitters Fishing Report Main lake Surface temp 48 to 51 degree and clear River Arms, Surface temp 52 to 58 tea color to stained Man this crazy pond is jumping around like a Mexican Jummpin Bean Friday was like a Moon Shot, with the lake being the Moon and just about as desolate. Saturday in the High wind, not much better. Can you believe it only took 4 fish to win a CPA Lone Pro derby in MARCH!!! Sunday things kind of broke out a bit. Spoke to Chuck Grise and he and son Adam had a very nice afternoon in the dam area, cranking a Wart. 7 fish with two over 5 pounds. Fish were shallow, under 12 feet. Lots of fish in Joe Bass derby came to the scales that were grub caught. Some over deep trees, some on the outside of the tree line and others swimming it on windy gravel. Jig bite is also starting to pick up on main lake bluffends, secondary points, pockets and tight cuts in staging locations. These fish range from suspended over the deep sides to anchored in the 12 to 26 foot range along the ledges and breaks. If conditions are right, it is possible to see some chasing fish. Don't believe they are ready for top water yet, but some type of a subsurface presentation will get their attention, if you can put it in front of them. Lots of very nice bags of fish weighed in on Sunday. 42 boats and as the trend has been it took one over 8 pounds to be big bass 7 pounder was second. Loads and loads of 5's and 6's. Beck and I got very lucky and you can read my report and see a few pic's on www.whiteriveroutfitters.com Just on of those days. Best bet lakewide right now is the jig, 3/8th. to 5/8th. will get them. There is still some crankin available and the stickbait bite should be better than it is. You know before long we are going to be dragging that Dr. Of course Tim Paige already has with limited success as of yet, but it is only days and they will be on it like green on grass. May try the Whites and Crappie tomorrow on my trip, but after the day we had on Taney with lots of 2 and 3 pound bows, he may want to fish the cool water. Good Luck http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com
