Quillback Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 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.

BilletHead Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 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.

AR Huzgr Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 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! Quillback 1

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. Mike Quillback 1
Quillback Posted March 22, 2019 Author Posted March 22, 2019 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.
