Big M area, 2/29

Sure was a beautiful day, fishing was slow, with a brief flurry of activity in the afternoon.

Spent most of the morning dragging a shaky head and the Ned.  Picked up a half-dozen doing that, and got my biggest fish, a 2.5 lb. Kentuck.  Couldn't find a hot spot, just a fish here and there off points and chunk rock banks.  Fish were in 10-20 FOW.

Decided to try throwing a Bagly Balsa shad on windy banks, picked a couple up, then got back in the very back of a cove and picked up 4 largemouth on it.  A couple of them were decent keepers.  Fish were shallow, 5 -10 FOW.

By then, I had put in 7 hours which is about my limit for a days fishing, so it was back to the ramp.

Nice job. Thanks for the report. I wish I could have been there also - but work had my number.  What was the water visability?

Quill, wow!  Beautiful color on the fish. Sounds like you had a good day. Why did you go to the back of the cove? Were you surprised with the 4 LMs there?

Nice catch. I agree with the color of those fish. Healthy looking

Mike, don't let that one guy on here convince you that every fish lives in the middle of the lake. Ain't so, I tell you.

Maybe you need a "soft kitty" sublimated jersey.
