He does not have a guide license so he can't charge you anything.😁

Baxter Report was pretty much a Skunk report with a capitol S.  Got on the water at 7 am 47 degree at the ramp.  Big Indian is simply loaded with shad from Kanakuk Camp back.  I tried to deep fish for at least 2 hrs. and only caught one small keeper, just could not see any bass in the shad or near them.  Probably the most shad I have seen anywhere,  just millions and millions.

Went to the bank and tried the RK Crawler for about 5 minutes and figured out pretty quick that was a no go.  As soon as it touched bottom the slime would just cover it.  It is clinging off the docks up there and looks to be out to at least 15'  No crank baits at Baxter unless you can find some snot free banks and I did not see any.

Dragged my big FB jig deep with no takers and then picked up the jerk bait and caught 3 all keeper LM on it and also fished the A-rig and caught 2 keeper K's on it.  Fished 7 hrs. for 6 bites and was lucky enough to catch every bite.

Lots of new stuff going on there with the old Baxter joint now open as Millie Jo's cafe.  It was busy when I went by at 2.  Also saw where Black Oak Mountain is going to have a full season of concerts and Swiss Villa is totally remodeled and turned in to Time Shares.  Lots of vacation rentals are also going up just outside the park.

Water is really clear in both sides of the Indian.  With the S. wind when I checked out at a little after 2  surface temps at the ramp had risen to 50.

Sad report, but true.

 

well, what about a consulting fee??  just saying that sometimes instruction has to be paid for.

@ willyfish  I tried to give Mike some money and he said that he doesn't live next to a Babler, doesn't fish.  Your information is bad.

Thank you for your reports. Good or bad a least your on the water.  I am praying for a good weekend to get to the rock to fish it for the first time in about 18 years. Not had much luck with weather and my schedule.  New to me boat is ready and the forecast for this weekend is not looking real promising either.  Thanks for your contributions to this forum.

You already led me down the wrong ramp to the wrong Mike.
