I got on the lake again today. Those of you who think it's never too cold to fish might have gotten on the water early today, but I didn't. I waited for things to warm up and didn't make it to my fishing spot until just after 10:30. Winds were light and water temp was 47 to 49 degrees.

I headed back to the spot where I did so well Friday to see if it would produce again. The bite was tough the first couple of hours and it was almost noon before I boated a keeper. Things slowly picked up though, and by the time I left at 4:45, I had caught 25 keepers again. They were still holding 10 feet down, and still hitting my purple/chartreuse jigs. The bigger 1/8 oz jig caught more fish today. I cleaned four fish and released the rest.

I met Duck_Jerky on the water today. Nice meeting you, Brian! (So much for my secret spot.) He and I were the only ones in the area though, and soon after he showed up, he was reeling in fish, too.


The fillets from four fish completely filled a quart zip-loc freezer bag. Those were some nice fish!

Nice when you get big enough fish to fill a bag like that.

Congrats on another fine outing and thanks for sharing.

It was cold this morning! Warmed up and looked like it was a great outing!

Great to meet you on the water today, Bud. Enjoyed the conversation and the hook sets too.

Nice Slab Bud!

Good day Bud

As always. Nice Slab!

Way to go bud

Nicely done
