Lower end 3/20

[AR Huzgr]

Got out early, first light.   Beautiful day today, mostly calm throughout morning.

Tried a few new areas.   No love for Ned early.  Got some on a swimbait, near banks.   

Moved around a bit trying different areas.  Saw a school of bait fish scatter near shore.   Threw the trusty bomber 200 past and got a big fat smallie.  Best one of the year so far.

Went up Indian and got a few more in the trees thanks to Ned.

8 total for morning, all brown except one spot.

Water temp 51-53 range.

Nice one!  

I might be up that way Friday.

That’s a beaut!

How far back in Indian did you go? That last 1/4 mile can be awesome when the shad are there.

I've been slinking around the dam area a lot lately with the rivers not producing. I'm having a ball with the smallmouth lately on jerkbaits and keitechs and never having to pull the boat along for the trip.

 

I need to check out the back on Indian though and see if I can find some cats.

I didn't go all the way back this time.   Maybe halfway

With the low water, I can see where you could walk a lot of areas
