Put in at Big M yesterday...

[Steve McBasser]

I went fishin' yesterday with my buddy Gary. We put in at Big M at about 9am. Water temperature was right at 44*. We had clear to partly cloudy skies and it was dead calm. The water color was only very slightly stained and there was a least a 4-5' visibility. We ran down to Roaring River first where we saw lots of bird activity and tons of fish on the graph. We threw everything we had at them trying to get them to bite but they would not cooperate. We then ran down to Eagle Rock closer to the Hwy 86 bridge...still no takers. Came back up to Roaring river again where we saw so many fish on the graph and picked up 1 little Kentucky on an A-rig. Fished several points between there and the Big M marina with no luck. At noon we decided to run back over to Big Creek. We loaded the boat and hauled it over to the Big Bay ramp. It was still very muddy, but not as bad as it was 2 weeks ago. By now the wind had really picked up. We fished some of the same banks Paul and I fished the last week in January and started picking up a few. Gary skunked out but I managed to catch 4 or 5 nice keepers and a couple more dinks. Most came on the Alabama Rig and just a couple on a deep crawdad crankbait.
