Walking the bank

[Quillback]

Too darn cold for me to fish out of the boat, but after being cooped up in the house the last few days, I needed to get out and do some fishing.

Caught 4 smallmouth, 3 on Neds and one on a 2.8 Keitech.  Caught them all in the cove where the Lost Bridge south ramp is located.  One 50 yard stretch of bank was where they were at, and I also fished a lot of bank where they ain't.

With the water low like it is you can fish about as much bank as you want, I enjoy getting out and doing this a few times in the winter, simple fishing, one rod and a tote bag with some tackle and you're good to go.

Several striper boats fishing the LB South area, saw a guide boat pull into the dock and they were taking some pics with the days catch.  I was a couple hundred yards away, so no idea on numbers or size, but they had some.

Looks like a fine time to me.

It's a month late by the calendar, but if the water temp's in that magic 52-48 range, that coose deal I told you about should be worthy of checking with a walkabout at dusk.

I might do that.

I'll need to see a current Coose permit first, mister.
