Big fish but not big numbers. Water temps 44-47 early reaching 48-50 later afternoon. I’ve been bouncing between boats my main ride getting a new 300 put on.
Fishing mostly creek channels. Been getting on a slower steady bite this week on nice overs so no complaints.
Using mostly bucktails and soft baits in 1/2 oz and 3/4 oz.
Slower today but it was a hard cold snap and winds were brutal.
Some pics of these chunky hard pulling stripes…

Solid fish and post. Good job.

Thanks for the update Chris, and nice fish! I’m heading out this afternoon. Not sure what to expect with calm, post frontal conditions, but I know a good way to find out! Will post report on how it goes.

Mr Chris going BEAST MODE

Wild rides for sure!
Yes sir fun continues…

Good job though

Awesome thread. Nice fish.

Been lots of fun! Fishing been great for February. Some days have been really windy some days have been dead calm. The water warming up shad getting real active. HUGE front hitting no telling what it will do to them but will find out…well froze out quick only got a couple. Water cooled back down a few degrees.Here’s some eye candy
