Fellows Report - 3/17/12

Great day to be on the water, seemed there were many others yesterday that felt the same way as there were plenty of boats and fishing going on! A mix of clouds and sun, mild to heavier wind intervals made for an overall beautiful day, without beating you to pieces. Not to mention that my farmer's tan is now in full swing!

Water temps were around 61 degrees at midday. Started the day trying to hunt down some white bass, with no luck. Focused on largemouth for the afternoon. Caught 9 total, 5 keepers, including one stud that went 5 1/2 lbs. as shown below. Crankbaits and jerkbaits were the ticket... for me anyway... on flats and weeded flats. Oh, the females I caught were about to pop... the spawn should be in full swing very soon. Water clarity was about 10-12 feet... not much has had a chance to churn up the water weather wise.

Happy Fishing!

Sounds like you had a decent day! I winterized the boat and sadly have been too busy with school to take it out. This being Spring Break perhaps I could tear myself away from homework to actually get the reeling time in. Lord knows I sure DO need the break! Well let you know if I can make that happen.

Good job.

The bite is good right now Big... if you can find some time, now is better than when the water temps hit 90 degrees. Lol

Thanks Nitro!

I may show up Sunday. It's hard to give up the big boat except for the gas.

Caught a 30in 6lb muskie the other day out of there. Also ran into a few largemouths and whites.

I hear ya Nitro. The Ranger has been beggin' to be taken more to Table Rock... but since the bite is comparable at both, I am sticking with what works for now. That is, until tourney time of course.
