Today we arrived at the lake at 9:30 am. Decided to start fishing later, to give the water a chance to warm up a bit. Water temp was 53 degrees. The bass do not want to bite or chase lures when the water is so cold. The best thing I found to use in these […]

We arrived at the lake at 7 am. Temperature was 39 degrees and the water temp was 54 degrees. I decided to run up to the North part of the lake and started fishing with crank baits and spinner baits, but did not have any luck. We switched to A-Rigs and Buzz baits, but still […]
