Bull Sat 3/26

[Dewayne French]

Water Temp had dropped back to 51.5-52 Am but was 53-54 at 2p

Clear main 10-12' visibility main to stained in the back of some pockets (not all)

Best lures Crankbaits,  Gizits, & some Fluke fish also 

8 am-2 pm

Had a decent day with 6 keepers and 10/12 shorts.  I didn't get started until around 8 had to meet a buddy and his wife at Connie's for breakfast. Horrible way to start your day I know, breakfast before you go fishing. but I gave in to peer pressure and ate.. Water temp was way colder than 13th last time I was there.  Started in some small cuts and points. Took a while to get them figured out, but points and Rocks seemed to be the deal (Go figure that on Bull nothing earth shattering in this report!!) .  Wind wasn't as good as I would like to have had, but if you found the right spot those fish would still eat the crankbait.  Man those Kentuckies are Fat as town Dogs Geez I had 2 that where 17" and looked to be almost that round, didn't get a good picture of them but this Spot in the picture was a good respectable one.  the LMB picture was just a normal run of the mill keeper nothing special. Got off the water at 2 talked with Steve and the boys at the shop for a while.  Between them, the Fish and Connie's Breakfast it was a great day to out even with all the pollen in the air.

the WT will be mid-upper 50's by this evening with this sun today.

heck of a nice spot!

thanks a bunch for posting a report

Dewayne do you do any crappie fishing?

I went Saturday.Had to guide some people for slabs, and again Sunday morning with a buddy. Crappie bite was pretty good. Found some keeper spots too, but none THAT big!  Did you try throwing that crank on transition banks back in the coves? Big rock to gravel was were we caught some spots.

My crappie fishing is worse than my Bass fishing & that has a lot to be desired most of them time. I love tring to catch crappie, I'm just not that good to stay on top of the colors and head sizes and all the technical stuff for them, they are worse than bass.  This time of the year and in the fall I really like to catch White Bass.  I know it is hard to believe a bass fishing guy likes to catch whites. But hey they are usually a no brainier & if you know me at all I'm in to the no brainier type of fishing.   My Dad and his fishing Buddy could catchem on Norfork every spring pretty good on minnows, but I never had the knack.

The points and short sections that had BIG rocks were the key it seemed like on Sat.  It is almost like they (bass) are using them and the shallow shelf rocks to sun on "warm up the old bones as the old timers say". That's when I went to the fluke after it got warmer and I caught all my shorts on it with one good LMB to mix in.

There's a fine line between being humble and sand bagging. You Sir are selling yourself short.

Thanks very much for the report. It doesn't help my feelings since I wasn't able to go Saturday, but glad to see that someone was able to go catch some fish. It's killing me knowing whats happening and not being able to take part. Work and life sure do get in the way of my fishing.
