3-30 Baxter

[pvspmo]

Got out yesterday afternoon for about 3 hours in the Baxter area. 1st time out this year. Found fish on secondary points and in some spawning pockets.  Rock Crawlers and War Eagle spinnerbaits. Indian creeks water temp was as high as 56 and Swiss Villa a little cooler at 54. Caught a few FAT K's and best fish was a 3.86 Largemouth. Probably caught 15 fish with 4 keeps. Staying at Trace Hollow, in a red and white Ranger, be here til Sunday.

Nice fish. Be safe out there this weekend with all the boat traffic from the big-bass derby.

Nice fish. And watch out for floating debris. With the water rising stuff is floating off the shoreline.

Back at it today... Wiggle Warts and Rock Crawlers.  Fished flat secondary points and some main lake banks with timber.  54-58 degrees from this morning to this afternoon. 30-35 fish with 11 keeps. Biggest today was 3.08 largemouth. Sorry, no pic today.  LOTS of boats running today

For your sake, I hope you're right but I doubt it.  When I retired a few years ago I thought it was gonna be so cool to fish in solitude on weekdays.  

Wrong.  

Either everybody else retired or quit at the same time I did or it's all the "Dreamers" out there enjoying themselves!

I'm guessing it must be the latter cause I know there's a whole bunch of you guys still hittin' it hard everyday.

My brother retired a year ago too and whether we're fishing or playing golf it seems like we say to each other at least a half dozen times per day, "Don't nobody work anymore?"

Hope you knock em' dead!

You know you are probably right about that to some extent, I'm sure there will be some locals around and about, I may have been referring more to the fact that the owners of pla-port told me they have only one other customer in for Saturday then leaving Sunday. They are surprised at that, One thing for sure, any busy day on TR is a walk in the park compared to a busy day on LOZ. Thanks

I'm not sure but isn't Pla Port the resort that had the guy die from the Ebola virus a couple of weeks ago?  Might help explain the vacancies.......

I kid, I kid................

I'm just jealous cause I got three more weeks until I get to go!

And you're beyond right about the giant blender know as LOZ.
