mixermarkb Posted March 23, 2022 Posted March 23, 2022 Hi guys- I’m down for my annual spring break trip with my boys and father in law. We fished today in the mid lake area, starting about 10am. My father in law got on the board first with a 13” spotted bass on a grub. The rest of the morning was fairly slow. I think the boys and my father in law missed a few more on a hodge podge of grubs, shakyhead and swim baits. I mostly ran the trolling motor, but managed to pick up a keeper LMB and a 17” smallmouth on a jig just to make sure I had them on spots that were holding fish. The guys had all had their fill of the wind and slow bite, so they went back to the cabin about two. I stayed out and picked up the crank bait and started running windy channel swings and secondary points. I caught three more keeper LMB and a few spots by the time I quit about 4:30. water temps were 48-52, overcast and sometimes wet skies. dtrs5kprs, Bassin4fun, JMCat and 6 others 8 1

mixermarkb Posted March 24, 2022 Author Posted March 24, 2022 Still eating the crank bait today. Only fished a couple hours, but boated 6 with 4 being keeps. Colder weather in the low 40’s knocked the surface temps down a degree or two, but same baits and type banks as yesterday were working. Had a little help with the releasing today, even if it was too cold for him to go help with the catching… nomolites, dtrs5kprs, Johnsfolly and 1 other 4
Bill Jr. Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Nice fish! We did well this past weekend mid-lake area focusing mainly on the back half of the creek just because we were catching them there. Caught most of our fish on a 2.8 but caught better fish on the jig. Shade was definitely a plus. Enjoy the rest of the week. At least a little bit warmer for the little guy the next couple days.
Bill Jr. Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 A few really nice crappie as well. This one was a little over 15” and a little over 2 pounds. Johnsfolly and nomolites 2

I have to work on weekends, so Monday thru Thursday had to do! Thanks for the well wishes though, and ya gotta love those giant Bull crappie when you get one. May have to put some time into learning how to catch them more…
