April 5, Indian Creek area

[Quillback]

Launched at dawn, well I think it was dawn, it was very foggy.  Idled over to a nearby cove and caught 3 bass in rapid succession on the 3.3 Keitech, I thought I was going to really knock them dead, but those three fish turned out to be the biggest ones I would catch all morning, couple of keeper size smallies and a fat spot.  

Picked up another dozen or so during the remainder of the morning, mostly spots, a couple of smallmouth and all were in the 12-14" range and all on the keitech.  Fish were on points, in anywhere from 5 to 15 FOW.  

Water is pretty clear in the dam basin area, somewhat stained up Indian Creek.  

Started off with 50 degree surface temp and when I left it had climbed to 54.

I took off work Friday but slept in too late. Got on the water around 11. Rocky Branch area. Caught a 19”smallmouth, 2 keeper spots, a small LMB and a good sized white bass. All on rock transitions in 12 ft or less. Wish I had a bit more wind but was a beautiful day!

19" smallmouth would make my day, congrats!
