First time poster, long time reader here at Bass Resource. I've enjoyed this informative thread for quite some time and I've been successful in getting my dad logged in and keeping updated as well. We've been on the water a few times this spring with decent results so I thought I'd post up some of our experience from yesterdays trip to Coffee.
Arrived early and we were surprised to be the first boat on the water at 7:18 a.m. Reports seemed to be that the bite was slow. We hit the outlet first and spent about 45 minutes there with with a nice mix of SMB, LMB, and WB. The WB were the dominant specie while we spent time there they were hitting top water baits very consistently. Left that area and headed North to find some cooler water (outlet was upper 70's) and my Dad hooked into a very nice LMB but it was lost at the side of the boat. Headed towards the South end of the lake and spent the majority of the rest of the day there catching SMB.
Ended the day with close to 30 combined SMB and LMB being caught on texas rigged worms and craw baits. The white bass were not counted but they were plentiful and most were in the 15-17" size. We had a great time.
Water temperature at either end was 55-57'. The sun finally poked at around 3:00.
