Big M area 3/21

[Quillback]

Nice morning to begin the day, full moon on the horizon, not much wind to begin.

 

Right off the bat there were some bass swirling on top at what I assume to be shad, never saw any shad, but those fish are eating something.  Threw a LC 115 jerkbait at them and had a good bite for about 45 minutes.  Caught 8 on the jerker, 3 were keepers, but nothing big.  Had one on for about 2 seconds that pulled good, but it pulled off.  Always a head scratcher when something can get hooked on a lure that has 3 sets of super sharp trebles but manages to get off.

Breeze picked up, it got pretty windy as a matter of fact and no more jerkers.  Threw a Ned for a bit, but just couldn't get anything going with it, wind wasn't helping.  

Threw a DT 10 on some chunk rock, caught a spot, that was it.

Went to the 3.3 Keitech on a 1/4 oz head, picked up a fish here and there on it, a couple were close to the bank, most were in 10-15 FOW.  Had a nice brown fish to the boat that got off, the rest were sub-legal spots and LM's,

Caught 18 total, only 3 keeps.

WT ranged from 46 to 49.

             Nice Quill! 

  Had no wind when I started and like you it began to get with it. I think the forecast I seen got the wind speed off by a few miles per hour.

We were lower lake today.  Threw everything at them.   Only 1 K.  Not even a hint of other bite.    Water temps 45-48 generally.   Found 49 degrees down long Creek arm.     Tomorrow will be better I'm sure!

QB, you had a better day than I did up there. I finally was able to get out. I launched from Big M and saw your truck and trailer already parked. I didn’t get on the water until 9:30 and went on a tour to see the color and water temps. Pulled out at 2:30. Stopped to fish a couple of spots and finally caught a KY on a ned. I found some 51.2 water in one of the large creeks in the afternoon. That was me sitting on the main lake point near pt. 25 around 1:10 pm when you were coming down the lake and turned around. Lots of fish were staging.

That was you!  Son of a gun, would've stopped by and talked if I knew it was you.  I was going to fish that point, but saw you there.
