Got out again today. Second day this year. Temperature was 29° to start. A character builder. Water temperature dropped overnight from 50° down to 45° at the start. We did ok today still using the 2.8” Keitech. Nothing else produced. Tried crank baits, wacky worms, chatter bait, underspins, and buzz baits. Only the Keitech produced.
My brother caught the first two fish and then I caught one. All before 0900.
The fish are relating to wood or grass or rocks. Perhaps they heat up faster and provide a better comfort level.
Heading out again in the morning.
Winds were WSW at 9 gusting to 19 MPH. We had white caps and then no white caps. Mother Nature had her way. I caught another quality bass weighing in at 4.14 pounds.
Another fun day with no skunk.

Nice catching GB, I too am a fan of Keitech baits, just wish they were a bit more durable.

You are the Man Jer being on the water with 29*. I guess no skunk makes it worth while.


I agree, looks a bit chilly my friend.

Exactly right, Jar and thank you. On Wednesday and Thursday we were the only fishermen on the lake.
It was “crowded “😂 on Friday. There were four others out fishing. Friday was the best day for weather. Started out at 42° and hit 67° in the afternoon. We sure get some crazy weather here.

Thanks. It is really tough right now. Fish are very finicky.
