Date Fished: 3/4/2005
Water Temperature: 59
Water Clarity: 4 feet or greater I meet up with a fellow report poster Mike, we were in different boats. Are plan was to fish and meet every few hours to compare notes and patterens. From daylight until about 7:30 the pattern was easy...buzzbaits. Then it got a little tricky as there was'nt a cloud to be seen in the sky. I caught a few more using my trusty motor oil worm. Mike had 3 or 4 really nice fish on a...well, I better not post that because I am not sure he wants his secrect out of the bag. But if we were fishing in a tournament, he would of beat me. I had 2 keepers in the boat and lost 2 more with my biggest being about 5 1/2 pounds. She was no doubt on a bed, she was about to pop at any time. I had some other fish follow my bait but never hit that really shallow as well, so I will assume that they were also bedded fish. After about 9:45am the bite was pretty much off. I did'nt even have a bite the last 2-2 1/2 hours that I was there, I got off the water at 12:30. I want to thank Mike for showing me a few new tricks that I can add to my book. All fish were released back to fight again. I plan on going again next week sometime, I will just follow the fish around the lake as they spawn. Talk to you guys real soon.
