Nothing......one small bass. Was off the bank in a couple different spots. Talked to a nice guy that had caught a few on minnows and jig. Water was still pretty stained and up bout six foot. Seen a few boats out ...wonder how they did??

I plan on making my way up there saturday.....hope it clears up some by then
Yep, I was up river hunting for schools of white bass, no luck there. Water temp was 48*-49* , stained with moderate current. The coming rain and colder temps won't help.
I tried for a short time at a spot on the lake and caught 3 small ones. Couldn't stand the wind anymore and left. There was a guy leaving when i got there who had 8 or 9 decent ones, said he fished for 3 hours to get em. On way home i stopped down at spillway to try one of the eddys on the west side. Caught a bunch of white bass and crappie and a 12 inch walleye. Mostly small crappie, a handful were decent sized.
Any size to those white bass ? Even when the fishing is on fire I avoid the spillway, to many people to many problems. :bangheadQuote:

Thanks for the report guys. Personally, I'm kind of happy that it turned cool again and slowed things down just a bit. The forecast looks good over the next couple weeks to put prime spawn time in the first few weeks of April. Also, I was concerned that the quick warm up would get the mushrooms going up my way to early. Love sin time fishing. And summer, fall, and winter.
Yes a few of the white bass were good size, along with some smaller ones. Probably caught 20 or more of them. Been a while since i got into a school like that, i don't target them they just happened to be there as i was hunting the crappie. If i fish the spillway it's usually on the bait shop side or downstream in the woods on the other side. Fewer problems that way it seems. Only had one issue yesterday, a vietnamese guy walked down and started casting right in the hole i was fishing. I think he got the hint when my jigs and bobber landed right at his feet. He left quickly.Quote:
