Big M, 3/14

Muddy Water and I got out there today, nice day, it was like spring started today, very warm temps and the water warmed up a bunch, we saw quite a bit of 56-58 degree water.

It started slow for us, we were fishing the big boy stuff to start (jigs, spinner baits, jerk baits) and I think we may have caught one or two.  We started going small (Ned, grubs) and going shallow, shallow as on the edge of and in between the buck brush and we started catching fish, got around 25 doing that, mainly in the afternoon.  Never got any big ones, Muddy got a couple of those big 2.5 lb. spots on the grub and those were are biggest fish.

Water seems a bit more stained up in that area since the rain.  Quite a few boats out there for a Monday.

didn't throw the shakey head today heh?? I wonder if the swing jig should come into play, I was down at the pond below the house yesterday throwing the senko and they were tearing it up, granted it is a smaller body of water and probably warmer I guess, sure looking forward to getting down. Good luck!!

96, just threw the shaky head for a bit, probably would have worked.  I would think the swing jig should start working also.  Might be time to start trying the Menace grub on the swing jig.

Quill, another good day being flexible. Thanks for the information. That water really warmed up since Saturday.
