Smithville this afternoon

Put in at W ramp and went up. Started out rig'n minners in the river channel,marked lots of fish,shad balls but couldn't get anything to bite! Tried casting jigs and slow role ,no good.
With the water down we did Mark a good trail up to Arnold, so that made the outing worth it.
Water temp 36.5 , air temp 59 with sunshine ,water stained , lite south wind , very nice to be out .

Thanks for the post..

I fished camp branch this morning but no keepers. Shorts were shallow at 4'. Hope it gets better with warm weather.

Bet it was nice to just get out there

Nice !!!

Thanks for the report. Is there a place for minnows in the Smithville area this time of year?

Great! Thanks.

Ectonville gas station has them all year

Thanks for the report, JR.

Sounds like a good day, fish could have cooperated a little more though.

Well it was a nice day to get out, going to get better.

Thanks for the report. Waiting for the water to get a little warmer. This weekend should help a bit.
