Baxter Report

[Fishrman]

Fished with my good friend Bryant Ward, headed over to Little Indian, went all the way back to flowing water, nothing. Worked our way out threw a wart caught one short. Put the jerk bait into action after that, fishing points working both sides in and out. Caught about 25 or so, 4 keepers, one in the 6 lb. range and another around 4 lb. The other 2 were good keepers17-18 inch. Water temp was 47-49. Did catch some in Big Indain later in the day all shorts. Big one came at noon. Some banks nada, others you might catch 6-7 in a short stretch. All in all a great day with a great person and friend. Oh, we caught 2 crappie on the jerk, and I mean hogs both in th 14 in. range and thick. Nice surprise, they were returned. Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot. Going out tomorrow with my son tomorrow to see if we can find a few.

Thanks for the report, you guys did great on the jerkbait. I'm going to set the wart aside and throw a jerkbait tomorrow.

Nice report. Like to see those temps threatening fifty degrees.

How was the water color in the back ends?

[Fishrman]

It was clearing not dingy some debris floating but no real color. Kind of a milkish look. Still had good water color on down where we jerkbaited, still had 2-3 ft. visibility. Wind sure helped today as it usually does when your jerkin'.

Was there a certain color that did better???

[Fishrman]

i threw a rogue most all day with a turquoise back and white belly, ugliest thing I had in my tackle box, but seemed like the white belly was the deal. Threw a McStick in green shad don't really know what the color is called. But it had a greenish back with chrome sides and I only caught one on it. I had a tackle box full of lucky craft and Excalibur's, caught them on the cheapest one in my tackle box. Go figure. I will say I have caught more on a rogue than any other over the years. Probably because that is all I bought when I first started. Sorry to ramble good luck when you get to go.
