          Shad

        Been catching crappie, trolling the creek channel. Fishing has been tough this winter, with the shad kill from these cold water temps. they've been eating good! Not a quantity day, but the quality of the fish have been amazing!

          Shad

        Before the water got too muddy. We had a field day chasing these little guys off drop offs and out of brush piles! No giants but managed a few decent ones 13” & 14”. You had to suspend the bait almost completely still for a bite and it took some time for them to commit. But great day

        Was able to get out and get on'em this weekend to start the new year right! With all the rain the reservoir was high, but with the warm rain & 60 degree temps the water was 50 degrees all last week was around 45-44. So I worked my way up the creek flipping bushes that were now in the water, and trees that were laid over. Had the best success on the downside of the current

        Grass is emerging from the banks and the bass are in there, as usual. We were throwing Bizz Baits Sassy Stick 4" Junebug and they were smacking those. Also throwing a 4" Junebug grub and they liked that too. Just throwing to the edge of the grass, let it sit a bit, small pop of the bait.
