Quillback Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 Launched early in 30 degrees and fog, and got off the water in the afternoon when the temps were in the 60's. It was a really nice spring day, saw some loons, the cardinals are calling, and saw an eagle in it's nest. The eagle was kind of funny, it was down in the nest and every once in a while I would see that white head stick up, like it was checking to see if I was still there, then down it would go, I would look up there a minute later and see the white head up again, then down it would go. Sure is fun to be out on TR on a nice day. The fishing was decent, I caught 15, biggest was a 3.5 LM, another LM that was just about that size, and several nice spots. Got a couple on the Rock Crawler, a couple on the Ned, and the rest were on the shaky head. A few of them were deep off chunk rock banks, but many of the bites I got today were on sunny, gently sloping banks that had buck brush. The kind of places you would expect them to be in April. Mostly in 5-15 FOW. Water warmed up, saw 53 a couple of times, with 51-52 being pretty common. It is still that stained green color. Saw some surface activity here and there, next time I'm out I'll have a top water on the deck. Probably won't catch many on it, but I would have sure liked to have thrown it at a couple of those fish. huntest, Ranger Z22, Smalliebigs and 9 others 12

96 CHAMP Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 Quillback, was wandering if you have used the yamamoto kut tail worm with the shakey head, I am going to try them this year and was wandering if you have used them and if so what do you think of them
edyer Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 That sure is a nice fish you caught on the RK Crawler! Hope that rain isn't too heavy this week for you all.

I bet they would work. Senkos will sure work. You guys are right about that forecast looking bad, I also hope they are wrong, we sure don't need a flood right now.
Ketchup Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 After seeing a few fish feeding yesterday, I too was tempted to throw a top water bait at them. Next trip TinBoats BassClub. An aluminum only bass club. If interested in info send me a PM.
Bill Babler Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 More later, but they really bit. We had about 16 keeps with right at 18 pounds. Water temps in some of the pockets at the dam was 58 degree. It is starting. Hang On. Patlock and merc1997 Bo 2 http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com
