Baxter 4/23 pics added

Made  a late decision to go today. Didn't get on the water till around 9:30, off around 4. Fished the same baits as last week but with better results. Ended the day with 8 keeps, 4 smallmouth and four spots. All just solid keepers but no big fish. GP Structure bug on the wobble head caught 4, one spot and 3 smallies. GP Tube caught the largest smallmouth (17+") and a spotted bass. Didn't get into Mr Babler's  big Crappie but picked up two more spotted bass on a jerkbait. Most bites were still in 5-15 foot and almost all my fish were males. Have pics I'll try to load later.

Pulling the boat out of the garage right now, destination - Baxter!  Too many good fish being caught there, I can't resist...

I should mention the bottom bite is EXTREMELY light, if you get  just  a peck and slack line, better reel and set the hook.

Thanks for the info.

Quill,

Think I met you this morning heading that way, did you take the Eagle Rock route to Baxter.  I met a Phoenix that I thought was you.  Hope you caught them.  I was pretty jealous, I was headed to work and you were headed to the best destination I can think of.

No crappie again today but over 20 keepers. Best at 3.6

forget the bottom from Cow to point 9. Moss is increasing and we picked it up to 30’ today. Swim bait and top water with some early on a fluke

No it wasn't me, I was kidding around about going to Baxter.  I did go over to Beaver today, bass were slow there, but did get a couple of keeper walters.
