Super User roadwarrior Posted March 3, 2011 Super User Posted March 3, 2011 3/02 13 flood gates open yeasterday, but we still managed more than a dozen bass 2 1/2 -4 1/2 lbs. The fish were about half and half, brown and green plus a drum and full grown whitey. Water flow 58,000 CFS early, MUCH greater, later. Water temperature ranged 49* - 52*; visibility ~3-4'. We fished a range of lures both hard and soft. Winners included a grub on jig head, Kut Tail on a MegaStrike Shak-E2 Pro Series, Rage Tail Baby Craw and Swarming Hornet/ LFT Live Magic Shad. No strikes on jerkbaits or any cranks other than the white bass on a lipless Spro Aruku. Quote
