Fishing Report 3-3-2017

[M_Taylor]

Bass fished from about 8:30-3:30. Water temp started at 45 and by the end of the day about 48.

Put in at the state park and stayed quite close all morning, then made a run to Linn Creek at the end of the day.

Ended up catching a dozen with 7 or 8 being keepers. The best one went about 4 lbs. Good quality fish, all were eating well.

There was a lull during the middle of the day. I used two rigs the whole day.Craw pattern crank and a jerkbait, both on 12lb flouro. Most of my weight came on the crank: bottom contact was a must and a slow retrieve and pause worked well. Bigger rocks seemed to be best. The jerk worked around some shallow brush piles, where I actually watched the bass come out and get the bait. That was awesome! The rest came from main lake docks.

I don't know how that compares to anyone else, but having not been here since Thanksgiving, I was happy. Especially since it started off so cold this morning. I hope to get a few hours in the next couple days and will report back.

Went out for a few hours at end of day and fished in Linn Creek the whole time with around 8-9 fish and no keepers for us today. Never picked up a crankbait, thought about it. Mostly threw a-rig on windy banks and jig out of the wind.

Nice job M Taylor. I would be happy with that!  I will be at LOZ on Wednesday week after next. Always cool to watch them eat it, topwater or jerk. Headed to table rock for the first four days and then LOZ. Will post how I do.
