Pat Brown Posted yesterday at 02:03 AM Posted yesterday at 02:03 AM Finally got a few to bite. One on the free rig which is sort of new to me and I'm excited when I have success with that kinda stuff Had a buzzbait fish after sunset! A bunch on the jerkbait but all little guys But it was cool catching a few on a super fast moving bait again! Finally the lipless bite kicked back on this week with all the rain - managed a quick trip around lunch time and did pretty well. Two little fish and a 4.5 lber on the red craw red eye shad! Heck of a fight! Biggest of 2025 so far and nice to run into a big one on the lipless! Jake lost a good one on the spinnerbait tonight at a different spot and missed some more bites on the lipless so they're slowly turning back on. These bass felt like I was grabbing them out of beer coolers. They were COLD! Hoping I can make a little more magic happen before the winter cold times come back in a big way next week! Amazing fish everyone! Great to see spring turning on some places! 12 Quote

Once they're warm enough to hear your whispers, they'll be coming to you too. Pat, I added your 4.5-pounder to my post up thread. You're representing now! 1 1 Quote
Super User Team9nine Posted yesterday at 02:54 AM Super User Posted yesterday at 02:54 AM Back out on the water after a couple wet, cold days. Over 3” of rain, but surface temps only dropped 4-5 degrees. Fish moved again, but we eventually landed on them and caught about a dozen and a half in 3 hours. 12 Quote

Nice job, unfortunately a little more rain coming now. What depth/lures are you finding work best? Quote
hokiehunter373 Posted 15 hours ago Posted 15 hours ago Envious of you guys. I’m just up here staring at ice with highs in the 20s and half a foot of snow predicted next week. Sigh lol 1 3 Quote

Can’t get anything to eat on the bottom. Mostly jerkbaits and swimbaits or ‘jighead minnows’, with a few crankbait fish. Fish have been focused around shad schools on main lake from 1’-10’ ft. If more rain = more stain, I might finally get to catch them on a jig or Ned rig. 2 1 Quote

This is the one time of year I haven’t fished locally and it’s going to be a learning process. 3 Quote

This is the one time of year I haven’t fished locally and it’s going to be a learning process. This is only my second winter season of fishing here, and it’s been completely different than last year. High level assumption is that water clarity dictates the bite. If it’s clear, they are out (main lake) on shad mostly and feeding up, and if it’s stained, they’re up on structure and cover and feeding down. 3 Quote

Almost sunk the S.S. Minnow, took like an hour to bilge out. Gonna be awhile until fishing is good again sadly. 1 1 Quote

Super User Team9nine Posted 3 hours ago Super User Posted 3 hours ago Bass didn’t like today’s cold front, but I didn’t blank, either. On the other hand, the crappie bite wasn’t bad (Other species catch thread), so there's that. 4 Quote
