Big M area 3/10

[Quillback]

Well I read the weather report today before leaving the house - a little light rain was the forecast.  HA!  It started raining right after I launched at 0730 and didn't stop until right after I left at 1:30.  And about 1100 it got really windy to boot.  I always hear that on days like this the fish are supposed to turn on, but I did not find that to be the case.  Caught 8 bass and one just short walleye.  Shaky head and Ned.  Fish were shallow, from right off the bank out to about 15 feet.

Got a couple of nice keeper sized spots, seems this spring we have a good year class of spots that have made it to the keeper mark.

Water temp was 50.

Did see a few big pieces of wood out in the main channel, so keep your eyes open if you are cruising down the lake.

Rough conditions for a slow bite, would be worth it if they were hammering. Probably still a few weeks away from that. What was the water color up that way today?

[Quillback]

Water is still greenish stained, one cove I was in for a while had some pretty dingy, but still green, color to it.

I kind of think Dave was right when he said the fish like stable conditions this time of the year.  I have not found cloudy, windy days to be much of a help.

Wish it didn't work that way. Will be different in a month.

In my years on the Rock, nastier the weather better the bite.

Quill I was up your way with a buddy yesterday and it seemed we had our best bites in the 52 to 53.5 water around viney. Not so great after we went up the white past pt.25. Water Temps dropped below 50 there. We had a total of 9 in 4 hours. Most on the mag wart and a few on the arig.

i guess that i am on the other end of the spectrum here.  just as hammer put the hammer on them in the rain and what not, i have always found the bite better on a day like yesterday morning.  you did not hear me say that it was much fun to fish in that stuff, but the bass are wet all the time anyway, so, they do mind the bad weather at all.
