Baxter Area 4/19 & 4/20

Lots of short fish Friday on a square bill in the backs of the creeks where the water was stained a little but only one keeper. Think we had 24 fish from about 7-3:30 but only two keepers, other keeper and rest of the shorts came on the jerkbait main lake bluff ends.

Saturday had 28 fish with 8 keepers, nothing over three pounds either day, was in a tourney Saturday. Had six keepers before 9:00 on a smoke grub in the areas we fished the square bill but the water had already cleared...right place right time with shad all over the cove and lots of schooling fish. 50/50 split between jerkbait fish and the grub, other two keeps were on the jerker and a wart.

87 boats in the derby, big bass 7.3 and winning weight was under 15 lbs.
