2-22-2017 fishing report

[Skeeter ZX190]

Put in at 7:30 am at Orleans Trail. Got off the water at 3:30 pm. Because of the fog, we stayed in Orleans Trail for quite awhile.  After the fog broke, we headed out from there.  Did really well in Hawker.  Water temps were 48.5 to 50.5.  It was a great day fishing and there was a lot of catching.  42 total bass.  11 were keepers.  The two biggest were 18 1/2 inches.  Both came on a Megabass 110 +1 in Pro Blue.  The other color we used was a Megabass 110 in triple illusion.  Most of the fish came on the stickbait, but several came on a Spro rock crawler in phantom green.  3 fish came on the ned and one of those was a 16 1/4 inch smallmouth.  When it was foggy or overcast, the rock crawler performed the best.  After the sun came out, the stickball bite turned on.  Secondary points with wind blowing on them was the key.  Surprised at how few boats were out for such a lovely day.

Looks like u guys killed it today thanks for the report that rock crawler is a fish catching machine when they r hitting crank baits I absolutely love the action and depth range the offer

Also saw 2 turtles.  One sunning itself on a log, and the other poked its head out of the water.

One other thing.  There were shad flipping on the surface WAY back in Orleans Trail cove in water that was only 2 to 3 feet deep.
