An encouraging report on 18" down. Don't it feel good to be saying "it got hot"?

Very nice Bruce! Quality fish you have right there in the sink. Shiners rule for that. Thanks for posting.

Hey Bruce, yes it got hot today. Linda and I hit Orange Grove, or should I say muddy grove, today for a few hours. Ended up with 1 kepper bass (14") and two brim. It was enough for her supper. I found water that was 60 degrees and I'm hoping it clears some, it should start to get good soon. Looking forward to next week. Those are some nice fillets you have there.

Nice fish. Its good to see a picture of the sink again.

Nice catch .. That's what I like to see from that area

Nice looking fish there Bruce! Thanks for the update.

Way to go Mr Bruce, that is some nice fish, congrats on a great day.
Mr Gene, the boys & I went to the Red River last Sat and it was RED. So I understand how frustrating it is to try to fish in the mud. We may need to get JR. to give us a seminar on fishing in muddy water :biggrin
but it is good just to get on the water especially with the family ain't it.

Way to go PS!! The spawn is coming soon!

That's some pigs rat dere.........

Congratulations Mr. Bruce. Very nice mess of fish. That's 5 that won't be there for the "Gathering." LOL.

Thanks Pastor, but, I caught these in a different body of water down near Morgan City, not Henderson.....

Nice! Congrats!

Way to go Mr. Bruce. I went on Tuesday 27th and did not get a bite. The wind was calm, temp. nice, water temp. 55-58, vary muddy are just nasty everywhere, and the pressure was 30.1. Now the big question, looks like the dog woods are starting to bloom don't that mean the spawn is near?

To me it's when the pecan trees start to bud.

Good job Bruce

To me it's when the pecan trees start to bud.

The "OLE" people used to say that when the pecan trees started to bud that winter is over, which I hope is soon!!!

It won't be long fished a bass tournament. And fish were caught in about 2 ft of water

Very nice
