Pattern still working as of today. Chatter baits worked pretty good today in 2-3 ft with fish up to 6 lbs.Found some 56 degree water and they were there.

Headed back after them the next couple of days. If anything changes I will post it here.

Jan 31 was a good day for us.Jig bite was slow but the chatter bait bite was on. Boated 15 up to 6 lbs and should have had another 10 more fish to add to the total. 1-3 ft in pockets where the water hit 54-58 was best. Midday to 4 pm the bite was best.

We boated 16 today 2/3/17 and lost 3 but no big ones. Still shallow. Water temp 51-53 today.

I still have a few days open if anyone is interested in catching a few.

Bite is still on. Had 1 lady today 2/6/17 that I was teaching the ins/outs and we had 14 and missed 6-8 fish.I put my rod down after a while to let her catch them.

Our total could have been much better with more than one hook in the water.

It was really ON late in the day on wind blown banks. I was sitting in 61 degree water watching fish blow up on shad.

It is about to get crazy this week.

Boated 16 today 2/8/17 with my best friend. Biggest was a 7.2 all in 2-3 ft. Water temp dropped today.

Had lots of 56 degrees.

I have been running my 1 person specials all month so no telling what we could do with more hooks in the water.

Last 4 trips with one person each trip we have boated 61 fish with 4 over 6 lbs.

Now this cold front will probably slow them down again. frown

Feb 19 th finished with 20 today with biggest about 5 lbs but had a couple in that range. Same pattern still working just a few more fish. Had to work around boats all day. Something I have not had to do all year so far. Getting that time of year I guess. The fish I have been on are getting hammered now thanks to a video published last week. IMO I think the video killed me on that cause boats are loaded up in there now.

Pattern is still going STRONG and bigger fish are moving in daily.

Myself and one guy finished with 23 yesterday 2/23/17 up to 6.4 and we lost 3 bigger than that.

Water temp was 63-67 in most places I went.

Cant wait to get back out there.

Have a Great Day ... Go Fishing `~<""><

Still ON ! Had 22 today with a 8.8 and a 6.8 big bass. Fun Day. I just wished the wind would lay down a bit so I can fish slower. All fish came 1-3 ft. Going to give them a rest for a couple of days.

Plenty of fish to catch with out sight fishing. Although there are some big girls already up and some even done in some areas. Course IMO this is a small wave of what is about to happen at Lake Fork.
