St. Patricks report

[Mhyde]

Put in a Roark Bluff today got on the water about 8:30 fished till about 2pm. Ran down to sons Creek area started to fishing secondary points with 45 degree banks with rock about as big as a football to the size of your fist. Caught the first keeper about 20 minutes into the day ended up having 4 total Keepers  with one right under 5 pounds. 7 bass all together. Six Largemouth in one small mouth. Warmest water we found was 48.7 degrees water still has good color with about 2ft of visibility. Ran down the big sac arm  for a little bit did not have any bass but did catch one 18 inch walleye on a jerkbait. All the bass came on wiggle warts (green and brown Craw patterns). All the bass were scattered and in 10ft or less. She was the only female all day and the only time we had a double was when I caught her my partner caught a male that we feel was with her. Rest of the Bass where single males. Caught the last fish about 1:45. We felt after we left that if we had been on the water at dawn we would have caught more fish. I think we had some high pressure move in about 10-10:30 and the bite sent south quick on us.

Good luck guys if winter would ever let go this year, when it does the fishing for all species are going to explode!

Me too.  I tried all kinds of baits.  I only had 2 bites all day long and both on the little guy fishing parallel to a ledge in 15 fow.  I had 2 green fish...1 keep 1 short.

[dblades]

2 brown, both short,  on secondary points, after I resorted to the little guy.

Personally, I'm heading back up to the south next time I go.
