hawgenvy Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 In post-frontal conditions just before sunset today, the Megabass Ito Vision 110 did the trick. 17 Quote

Super User Team9nine Posted March 16, 2018 Super User Posted March 16, 2018 Only the second trip with the boat this year, but everything running good. Needs a good cleaning when things warm up enough, though. Surface temps just 43 deg and change, but managed 7 bass in a little over 3 hours, so everything is good 20 1 Quote
Super User N Florida Mike Posted March 17, 2018 Super User Posted March 17, 2018 Got a few this evening with my G-daughter Mackayla. She got the first fish on a 4 inch red and green sparkle watermelon senko. I got a couple more about the same size on the Zoom fluke. 18 Quote
bagofdonuts Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 Here's another bad pic of a good river fish. They're starting to wake up around here...she pulled like a tank. 19 Quote
Brad in Texas Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 I went back out today to Purtis Creek in east Texas ended up with 6 or 7 small males. Not bad, just no size. Sort of all looked like this one. Brad 15 Quote

Streams look good right now. I think that's going to change, though. Weather service is calling for a wet pattern. I'll never forget this week six years ago when we had a string of eighty degree days. I was wet wading and catching smallmouth on March 21! That's the summer when we had so many 100 degree days and no rain for almost eight weeks. 1 Quote

The creek was really clear, I don’t know that I’ve ever seen it looking that good since I started fishing it! Last summer was pretty awful for rain to, all the ponds were way down towards late summer. Ive got a picture of my wife with a dandelion on January 1st last year, hopefully this summer will be a little more normal! Quote
Super User Team9nine Posted March 19, 2018 Super User Posted March 19, 2018 Still fighting tough conditions over here, with water temps hovering around 43 degrees, but had another enjoyable afternoon out on the water. Last couple stops saved the day for me. 18 Quote
MichaelCopeland Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 Went to Caddo Lake yesterday with a friend of mine I've known since the fourth grade. Chatterbait was king for me. Caught 2 on the 1/2oz breaking bream Project Z and 1 on the 1/2oz chartreuse sexy shad Project Z. My friend caught 1 on a perch colored 3/8oz or 1/2oz Booyah spinnerbait. Didn't weigh any of them, but just guessing the biggest one was around a pound and half give or take a little. We had a blast. Can't wait to do it again. ? Today I went to a little bayou around the corner from the house. I've fished it a few times and never caught anything. It looks pretty good for bass, but I've yet to catch one in there. Anyways I was gonna try again today. Had a weightless Texas rigged green pumpkin Z Craw on my Lew's spinning rig and on my second cast hooked into this 2lb 4oz white perch. The biggest one I've ever seen in person, much less caught. May have to give up on bass in there and just fish for perch or bream. 18 Quote
tcal4404 Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 First smallie of the year. Fought very hard for such cold water. Only fish in 2 days in fishing 4+hrs each day.... 14 Quote

MichaelCopeland Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 Here in NW Louisiana we've always called them crappie or perch. I don't really fish for them though. I only use artificial lures/baits. Surprised I caught it...lol. ? 1 Quote
ohboyitsrobby Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 You did eat that crappie right???? I know some ppl may smash on me for asking since it's a slab but man that's fantastic table fare ??? 4 Quote
MichaelCopeland Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 I threw her back. I'm never really prepared for harvesting fish. I'm a catch and release angler. Every now and then, when I'm not walking the bank by myself, I'll keep some for eating. That doesn't happen very often though. Mainly because I don't wanna clean them...lol. ? Quote
Super User J._Bricker Posted March 21, 2018 Super User Posted March 21, 2018 With rain in the forecast there was a narrow window to get on the water. Air temperature was balmy 38 degrees when I hooked up the boat and headed for the Tract to do some fishing. Tide had been going out for about two hours, water temperature was 54 and change as I dropped the boat in the water. I covered a lot of water junk fishing and the bite got better for numbers later in the day as the water warmed. However, my better fish came in the first half of the day. The 5.2lber absolutely crushed a square bill, and my biggest was a 6.8 which smoked a slow rolled spinnerbait. As I was fighting them, one of my the first thoughts was why did I leave the net at the house.... Good Fishing all, JB 24 Quote
