Tough fishing across most of what was about the muddiest I have ever seen Lake Tillery, but found bass in cleaner water in a stream above the bridge.

Water temperatures on Tillery remain in the 58-59 degree range in most places below the bridge. Creep up to maybe the 61-62 degree range in the shallow waters up by the dam in the afternoon. The water remains fairly stained, with visibility of no more than 2-3 feet in most places I saw. Given these still colder water temperatures, most of the bass remain out on the primary and secondary points on the main channel. My only success was with a drop shot in 25-30 foot depths. Some guys shared that they were also catching them in 10-12 foot ledges at the mouth of coves. No one reported seeing anything moving into really shallow/ spawning water yet, but it does feel like we are very close.

Caught a 2lb. bass on the 27th and then a 1.5lb one the next day in a cove just south of the dam. Also caught a 10 inch stripper on the 27th in the same area. Fishing is picking up pretty good lately.

Fishing is picking up in early morning and evenings. Waiting for the larger females to move up for spawn in the streams and rivers that feed Tillery.

Caught an 18 3/4 inch bass, weighed 2 pound 15 ounces at about 8 pm jigging from bank to about mid channel. Make sure you have your bug repellant if you fish in the evening.

Fished last night and this morning in very cold air temps again (20's-low 30s) so stuck to dock/shoreline fishing rather than take the boat out. As has been the case all winter, Drop Shot with the Roboworm Straight Tail 4.5" in Margarita Mutilator produces the most bites and landings of my techniques. The best bass, however, was landed on a Ned Rig with a ZMan Finesse TRD Green Pumpkin 2 3/4" on a 1/10 oz Ned jig head. Reaction baits did not work at all either time out.
