White River Report 02-12-14

[Bill Babler]

Was going to put in at the Knob this morning, but the ramp was iced over and so was the lake out about 59' from shore.

Went into the Store and grabbed a Breakfast Scramble, 2 pieces of sausage and a biscuit. 3 bucks. great deal.

Remembered Champs report and headed back to Eagle Rock. 2 boats already in on non-frozen ramp or water. Caught 2 pretty quick on a rig off bluffends. Went on up the White and fished similar and did not do well.

Temp at the Ramp was 36 degree. Temp at Devils Dive was 40 Temperature at Big M. was 38.

Kept throwing the A-Rig and caught 4 more on very similar types of stuff, long sloping ends with the channel hitting the bank. Nothing to brag about by any means as the 2 best were squeaker keeps and the other 4 were shorts. All LM.

I did have something hooked that was pretty good as it pulled me out and then under the boat and came unbuttoned. No idea what it was.

Had the boat most times in 30 fishing in.

Did talk to a local that was catching better than me. He was also throwing an A-Rig, but on a totally different pattern, and I did not ask permission to tell.

OWL, Panther, Cedar, Viney, and Carter were all frozen in so I could not look for any deep fish on that end

Going back tomorrow and try what the other guy was doing and see how it treats us.

Good Luck

Had to be good to get after them a little bit. Thinking of putting a pic of a smallmouth up on our dartboard so I can throw grubs at it. Close as I will get for a bit yet.

Air temps are getting warmer each day this week. Should get water temps up a bit and improve catching. Glad you caught a few Bill, thanks for the post.
