    Default 2/14/2014 Palmetto


    I caught my biggest bass ever I'm sure. It went exactly 4 lbs and 19". Some real fun on that long crappie pole. Also managed 7 sacs. 4 egg loaded hens and 3 shad loaded males. It want be long with the warm weather coming, but I hope to find bigger waters as they recede after the rains. All were tight line on Bobby Garland baby shad. My ole stand by black/chart curly tail was nothing.

    They were in 2' to 5' of water.Name: big-bass.jpg Views: 783 Size: 45.4 KB

    Congrats on the bass! Nice hit on the sacs, too. Next-door neighbor is camping and fishing over there right now - should get a report from him Monday.
    Did the cold knock back the salvinia any?

    The salvina is almost gone in the 2 biggest lakes. What's left looks fairly healthy. The water is up after the rain so may be some flushed through the weir to the river. I think the fish are stunted over there. It's not a good mix of big fish to little.

    It's 20min South of Abbeville. It's only for paddle craft and not that big. Pull it up on Google earth. They do have 6 or so canoes that they rent at the park and that's all you need in there. If you go make sure you have a pole to stick down or and anchor to hold you if it gets windy. I'm learning something fishing there. One thing about it the fish can't migrate away. Fish in a barrel so to speak.
