12-4pm

wt 43

depth 8-16'

stained,visibility 3'

3/8 and 1/2 oz biffle head/ craw

Looking for those fish that are starting to move up, I positioned the boat in 25-30 throwing into 5' on gravel points adjacent to creek flats. The first point I worked thoroughly with the biffle head ,and went w/o a bite for a long time. When I figured out how they wanted it presented there, I caught 8 bass in a row on it- 4 small keeper spots, 4 short largemouth. Had that school fired up now. Stuck around for a little while, ended up catching a few more small keeper spots ,and more short bass, then nothing for quite a while. Tried other craw colors, even a ww ... nadda. Made a couple of moves, and it was a little while before the bite picked up again on another point. The results where the same, more short largemouth and small keeper spots. Most of my bites came in 8-16'. Everything was put back.

It was a fun day for numbers! I caught a bunch, had right at a dozen keeper kentuckies 12-14". No keeper largemouth but caught a lot of 13-14 1/2" fish. I didn't count every fish caught, but I almost went through a 25pk. of craws today, had 1 left. A little ice in the guides reminded me how cold it was too..

Good to see that Biffle head working, may have to start poking around with it myself.

Nice job! And here I keep telling myself I need to fish the clearer water down lake and you prove me wrong!
