Big M area, Dec. 30

Dutch and I launched at 0700 into the fog.  It was one of those days where we got a bite or two here and there, we were never on a bunch of them.  Ned rigs were our best baits, a couple of swim bait fish and at the end of the day we fished cranks on about 1/2 mile of bank and caught a couple of smallmouth.

We ended up with 18 bass and a walleye that was just short of being kept.  3 keeper bass and Dutch had big fish honors with one of those tank spots that was in the 2.5 to 3 lb. range.

We got blown off the lake about noon, it was really windy.  Quite a few other boats out today.

WT 50-51

It was Arkansas day at Big M.  My truck was the only one with MO plates.  I don’t know how others did but while we were putting gear away I heard a lot of whining on the other side of the lot.

Thanks for the invite even though I got beat like a step child.

We were there this AM as well.  Lunched at about 7:15 and was off the water by 10:30.  
Short but good morning- found some jerk bait and swimbait fish deep and then tried cranking a little bit- only got one bite cranking but it was a good one: 3lb lm.

 

WT was 50-52ish- we mainly stayed on main lake stuff.  Once the sun got up it seemed to get tough.

Seems a tad early for lunch. 🤣
