Cold mornings at 33 degrees. Skies were mostly sunny. Brisk winds from the north as a huge cold front had moved through. The weightless lizard in Green Pumpkin/Purple worked best for me on a spinning rod throwing up against the buck brush and in pockets of hydrilla in shallow areas. Caught 21 bass with the largest being 18.75 inches.

The fishing at Lake O' the Pines is fixing to be really hot. Unfortunately this past weekend it was a bit of struggle with post frontal conditions and an abundance of fishing pressure. None the less the fish are wanting to get up and around the bank with water temps in the mid to lower 50's. There are still some fish out off the bank that haven't quite gotten ready to make the move to prepare to spawn, but I think with some warmer weather you will start to see those fish transition as well. The lake is fairly low right now so stumps, docks, and rock are the most prominent shallow water cover right now. Fishing rocking points with either a jerkbait or crankbait right now is a good way to try and intercept those fish that are one the move. Once in the shallows a flipping jig, chatterbait, or shakey head are your best bet to get a bite. For those fish still hanging offshore a football will be the ticket focusing on brushpiles, hard spots, and other offshore structure.
