OK, anybody been on Clinton? Gonna head down Fri for the weekend. Guessing the weather is gonna move some fish around with the dirty water. Anybody know the water temps?

Anybody got any tips or info on Carlyle?

What tournament are you fishing? I will also be down there that weekend. I just fished a tournament there this past weekend and it was a tough go. Only got one keeper, 3.2, on a crank and 6 between 15 1/2 and 15 7/8ths on plastics. JT is right, some areas look perfect but you just won't catch them and others are great. Get out and fish is all I can tell ya until you find them.

Does anybody thats been on Clinton know what the water temps are at the 48 and Dewitt bridges is?

Anyone been on Clinton lately?

Does anyone here have any experience on this lake in the early spring? I've fished here alot from May-Sept but never this early and I'm going to be fishing a tournament at the end of March. Any tips?

Still waiting on mine!!!!

I had an owl come down and hit the water trying to get my Zara Spook. Luckily he missed by about 3in so didn't get hooked. Then he sat there in the water for a few seconds, lifted up and landed on a boat lift 20ft from my partner and I. I had to take a pic with my phone, and thankfully I had someone with me to verify the story. I never would have believed it if I wasn't there.

Just looking to get some opinions on the EXO rod and reels from some of you that have used them. I was checking them out at an outdoors show today and like the way they feel but don't want to spend the money if they aren't what they appear to be. Currently I'm throwing Revo's on St. Croix Premiere's and Mojo's and I'm not unhappy with them just keeping my options open.

Just curious what everyone favorite trailer is on their swimjig?

Blue basser said it perfectly, go slow and subtle movements. And yes it is highly effective!! It's my go to bait when things get tough.

My patience. I love to finesse fish and alot of the guys in my club comment after tournaments that they couldn't sit and fish as slow as I do. I love it because as they are running all over the lake I concentrate on one or two areas and usually do pretty well.

Just wondering if anyone here has used them and what you think of them? A buddy bought a few and they seem like a good idea.

Shakey Head or a jig/pacacraw

Thanks
