Fishing Report

[Sprint21fter]

Fished Baxter area Sunday during the cold front and rains. Knew the bite might be tough due to the dropping of the water and the cold temperatures. I was right started shallow in the back of a couple of pockets at the mouth of little indian and the warmest water temps I could find was 59 degrees. That boosted my confidence but with the conditions I was hoping to get a handful of bites. I finally caught a short 13 inch kentucky in 12 feet of water behind a dock on a jerkbait. Decided to drag a C-rig out in 35 feet of water and didn't get a nibble. Decided to fish what bluffline there was across from baxter and the fishing got a little better. Flipped an eakins jig right up next to the only visible bluffline and caught another short kentucky. A few pithces later caught another short kentucky next to a bush. Ended up catching 6 more shorts on the bluff in a 50yd stretch. Backed out at 45ft and the fished were loaded out on the old ledge. Probed the ledge with football jig for a bigger bite and that didn't happen. Covered alot water but fished the spots really slow. Might have had 1 foot of visiblility. Saw a couple of other fisherman running down the lake in those conditions as well. It was nice to get out despite the conditions.

Didn't see much debris H-Hwy ramp was very easy to launch the boat.

Thanks for the report and ramp info. Thought it was odd not to see more debris. Saw quite a bit at first, then not much. Also saw some pics of the White and James and know all that wood is out there somewhere. But where? Did the wind help push it into bends?

That was where the debris was in the bends. Im quite sure there was a big mess of it up the creeks but we stayed right in the mainlake streches out from Baxter.
