Was able to find some pretty good fish on rip rap despite the super dirty, low water conditions. The water was still pretty cold, so they weren’t eating it very well, mainly getting the back hook, but I was happy I could get a reaction bite. First bass of 2025 was a 4lber so hopefully that’s a good sign!

I was able to get out after the historic tornados that hit the area. Luckily no one in my family was hurt or affected, but did have a few friends who had some significant damage to their properties, thinking of them as they begin to rebuild. Fished in the pouring rain, but it paid off with this 5lb+, 20.5” female. I found her in pad stems in about 3 FOW quite a ways off from the bank. The lake is super low, probably still 3-4ft below normal pool, which is why it was only 3 FOW. Kinda treacherous getting around out there, but worth it. They’re starting to fire up it seems.
