3/2 at Turnback

[YakAttack]

Put in at 2 pm on Friday around the Turnback area.  Brought home a couple of crappie and four whites.  Water temperature was 54 F.  Spent the entire time pulling cranks.  Pitching jigs on a kayak in the wind can be a bit difficult!  Also caught four good largemouth ( three of legal size)  and a big drum.  Was pretty excited to catch my personal best crappie on Stockton...it was 14.5 inches long.  Looking forward to things heating up this spring!

No Mike, I put in just southwest of where the Big Sac and Turnback come together...google maps calls it farm road 380.  Its a great place to access Turnback with a kayak.

Not to play 20 questions, but what is the water like down there? What kind of cranks were you pulling?

54 degrees on the water temperature and pulling 100 series Bandits.  The area of the river channel that I was in was between 7 to 10 feet.  Just for your information, I went to Aldrich area yesterday and water temp was 53 F....it was quite stained!  Moved up to Price branch where the water was clear, but water temp was 46F.  Didn't do well at either place!  The water at Turnback was not too stained and not too clear...just right in my opinion.

I went up Maze last night. Water was tea colored, not bad.

Fished timber near the channel, lots of fish on Sonar but couldn't get bit.
