Sprint21fter Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Missed a club tournament on Saturday and by all indications it was tough for the majority of the anglers that fished. They fished out of 39 bridge. So, I decided to go down lake a little a fish around Baxter and see what was going on. Fished 1-5:30pm. Water temps 54-53 degrees. Mainly threw threw wiggle warts off the main channel and at mouths of creeks. Wind blown banks with the biggest rock I could find was where I got bit. Ended up with 12 fish and 4 keepers. Not 1 largemouth, all keeper spots and smallmouth. Did look out deep with a spoon and found a school but they didn't want bite. dtrs5kprs, Champ188, Quillback and 1 other 4
cheesemaster Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Thanks for the report. Do you know what the weights came in at for the tournament?
m&m Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Sprint, thanks for the report. sounds like you had a nice day. How was the water color around Baxter? Mike
176champion Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Nice report...i put in at 39 bridge and yes there was a tourney there, all i m going to say is it was a mess getting out...we ran up the kings towards Viola and could not get a bite, watched a few others fishing up there and didnt see anyone catching anything either. I know everything about nothing and know nothing about everything! Bruce Philips
Sprint21fter Posted December 7, 2015 Author Posted December 7, 2015 M&M, water color was awesome in my opinion. Visiblity 6ft. 176, agree it is a mess getting in or out if there is a tournament going out of there. Cheese, didn't hear what the weights were just 1 guy out of 15 caught a limit

Did look out deep with a spoon and found a school but they didn't want bite. it really is hard to figure out with the water temps where they are that there just has not been any type of consistent shallow bite. i think it has a lot to do with the lack of cover. our trees are pretty non-existent anymore. it just seems that more and more every year that bass are becoming strictly open water feeders. and too, if there is not enough food present up shallow, they have to do something different to survive. bo

Sprint21fter Posted December 8, 2015 Author Posted December 8, 2015 Our club goes by total boat weight for the payout, but Individual standings for Angler of the Year is 5 fish limit. So, out of 10 fish per boat 8 fish for 17.84, means 8.5lbs for a 4fish.
