After our frost melted, I headed out to Beseck for a few hours. 44° at the ramp @ 10am, and the water temperature was 56.8°. Only a light breeze when I launched, but it picked up on and off all day. Most of my Bass spots were vacant but I caught a 2lb2oz Largemouth near the dam after an hour of looking. I checked the shallow end of the lake but saw no signs of beds. The warmest water I found was 59.5°. I fished docks all around the lake with no luck, but did catch a 1lb2oz buck on a blowdown. There were clouds of algae streaking the water, about 1-2 feet deep, all around the lake. Kinda unusual for this lake. It was an enjoyable day, and the trees around the lake are ahead of the one's at my house, so maybe spring is actually gonna happen. 🤣

Thanks Alta. It was a slower day than the last time I was there 2 weeks ago, but at least the wind wasn't bad.

Nice catches, beautiful pics, and no wind. Sounds like a 3fer for a good day Fred.

Those are a couple respectable bass, Fred. Better than a sharp stick in the eye! 🤣

Thanks Randy. More and bigger would have been better, but anything that beats the skunk is fine by me.

Good going Fred, water temps. here are still quite low as well. 32* this morning and a high of barely 60. Not even a sign of any spawning activity from the gills and crappies much less the bass. Monday they’re calling for the 80’s, that should get the party started.

Thanks Brad. The temperature at Beseck hasn't really changed since I was there 2 weeks ago, maybe the warmup over the weekend will help.
