February 14, Eagle Rock - Big M area

[Quillback]

Today was the first day in a while where I could launch early in the morning and have reasonable temperatures to fish in.  A little breezy. but not too bad.  

Fishing was a bit better than the last time out, I caught 11 total, spots and largemouth, 5 keeper sized.  One of the keepers was one of those big headed, skinny body largemouth, but the rest were nice healthy fish.  Ned rig fish, except for three on a jerk bait.  Caught a few fish shallow today on windy banks, they were in 5 FOW or so.  The rest were out in the 20 FOW range.  

Saw some top water activity again today off one rocky point, that's where I caught my jerk bait fish, throwing at those bass chasing shad on top.  Seems weird to see them chasing shad on top when the water temp is 42, but there they were.  

I left at 2 PM, wind got pretty crazy at about 1 PM, a warm wind, but it was blowing.
