Good day at Eagle Mountain

Good day at Eagle Mountain - 02/02/16 09:53 PM

Thought i would share some info on the lake from Monday morning. Water temps ranged from 48-50 with the south end stained to dirty and the north end is a dump! trash and floaters so beware if your running up there. I didnt have any luck up north (only spent abount a hour up there) so I moved south and started off at the docks in Carter Slough. Almost every dock had a few 15-18" bass under it and they were chomping on the ol Excite plastics and cranks but were all small.Like most of our area lakes that have been slammed with hiogh water, its loaded with young healthy fish. Looking forward to the warm-up! The fish caught were all extremely healthy and fat. Caught the big girl getting some heat off the rocks in the same area between the docks. She caughed up a few dollar size shad in my live well so she maybe had a few more ounces on her but you know how that goes. Couldnt find anyone on the lake to help take a good trophy pic but I did my best. I fished from sun-up till about 1330 when the winds picked up to +20. She was relased with out issue too be caught again!

Nice fish! I fished from about 1pm to 5:30pm and only boated two... Was tough bite and water looked dirty... Did find some 57 degree water in the back of couple creeks though.

Nice fish, when buy yourself if you want a good pic, put your phone on video and then get in the frame, snap some screen shots from the video to get a good pic.

Nice fish congrats!

Have a buddy with a lake house on Eagle Mountain and has been asking me to go fishing there.

I caught one over 5 last year and weighed it just like you did on that picture. The fish went nuts and I ended up ripping her gill plate as she flopped off the hook on the scale.

Thankfully no blood, so hopefully she made it. But from then on I tare the scale with a bag first and then put the fish in the bag. Not at all taking a shot at you, just hopefully throwing an idea out there.
