Thread: Early bite in Ruddock 3/1

3/1 Ruddock
Weather: clear skies
48 Lows 75 Highs
Wind: Variable 5 mph
Water Clarity: clear / stained
Launched before daylight and ran south to the Old Camp canal. Immediately noticed bass and sac a lait up shallow busting fry. Started fishing shallow with a 2 inch Googan Baits Snacky Swimmer in the toxic waste color paired with a 1/16 oz death grip jig head. Presentation was slow rolling the swim bait near any hard cover and vegetation up shallow. Fish were aggressively feeding for about the first 2 or 3 hours of the morning before the bite died. Ended up catching and releasing 5 or 6 bass, 4 sac a lait and about 10 bluegill and goggle eye.
Searched all over after and threw the kitchen sink at them without so much as a nibble. Since the bite died i ended the day around 11am to take advantage of the pretty weather and pick up a sack of crawfish from Hole N Da Wall to boil.
I attached a picture if the area I was fishing if anyone plans on fishing that area.

Very indept report. Thanks.
