Water Temperature: 56
Water Clarity: 4 feet or greater Hi fellow bassers, Went to south branch again today with Ken, a fellow basser from Maryland and we caught 17 very nice smallies. We started out fishing on the spawning flats with spinnerbaits and Ken got two right off fast in 3-5 feet of water so i started to look for beds. One of the smallies Ken caught was either on or started to make a bed as it looked like a male that had moved up. We stayed with that pattern the whole day and it turned out very well. The sun was out when we first launched the boat but within an hour or two (surprise)the weather turned to (what else) RAIN,WIND AND COLD!!!!!!! BUT, it didn't stop a 4.8 pounder from crushing my spinnerbait and showing us the BIG smallies in south branch are on the move. Most of the smallies were starting to move up as the water temp from last week to this week has gone up by 3 degrees and the full moon is either monday or tuesday. The first drop from the spawning flats and big rocks on top produced for us today. I always run my baits with a trailer hook and only caught one on it, all the smallies we got just CRUSHED our baits as we moved them along the rocks. Most of the fish were from 2 to 3 pounds with some being in the 3.8 pound range and my one big kicker fish. Had a great time with the smallies and looking forward to getting into the largemouths next week, stay tuned, DAVID
