Only 39 bass? You couldn’t just get one more. What a great day. The weather has been really nice. I am going to have to make it down there one of these days.

Solid post and fish. Good job Steve. Side Note: Looks like the Bluegills are in winter hiding.

Barry...Ya know...I thought I had 40 bass, but realized on the way home I forgot about the catfish... Chuck...I can still catch a few small ones around the rocks, but the slabs go into hibernation or something...What kind of success are you having ? I know you are probably in process of switching over to trout right about now...

I saw you heading to the discharge around 9:00. Looked like 5 or 6 other boats there. Lake was busy and had some sketch encounters with boats with no etiquette. Small lake, crowded and bent pole pattern makes for a frustrating day! Like you said, water warmed 10 degrees and fish moved up making them easy for everyone to catch.

David...I was one of 7 boats in that area, but everyone was respectful. There was only one boat along the dam that I would have liked to have removed the drain plug from b4 they launched. The bait fish (shad) were everywhere I went, so guessing they moved up now that the water temp has increased. Did you have a good day except for the jerks?

Ended up catching a ton, after a slow start. I started deep because 2 weeks ago that’s where I found em. About 11:00 I moved shallow and started catching the snot out em, only problem was size, most were under 2 lbs. They were even schooling on bait for a while but the schoolers were hard to catch. 7-12 ft was where I caught most.

Fished Saturday and Sunday, Saturday was crazy with boats between the kayak tourney and other clubs. Sunday was great except for the north wind. Results for our paper tournament group were lots of limits of 2-3# fish. 20” was big bass Saturday, 22” on Sunday. Most fish caught on soft plastics rigged any way you choose, but I watched some young guys catch good numbers of mostly small fish on deep diving crankbaits. Numbers of 12-13” fish are encouraging considering the cast netters, it’s a great fishery. None of us could figure out the bigger fish we expect to catch there.
