If that ice is off I would be on it! it will warm up quick! Throw a trap or a spinner bait! try slow and fast retreives, until you get them to bite I have been fishing 39 degree water and catching them in less than 5 ft of water. aim at the bank make a bunch of casts you WILL catch a big fish when its cold if they are in there..... good luck and tight lines!!!

I have a bass club tournament in a few weeks any tips would be greatly appreciated! maybe some navigational info is there alot of debris in the water logs stumps that I should worry about busting the hull on or tearing up my lower unit? Also looking for a campground close by its gonna be a 2 hour ride and I was thinking of prefishing this weekend with the girlfriend!

Well I did not get a chance to look up bob, but I did end up catching a few nice smallies! and a huge drum on a senko thought it was a monster smallie..LOL That lake is awesome! Just a desolate flat lake with big waves. Fish are scattered everywhere. I was able to have a follow by a small muskie too seen several 50 inchers busting outta the water! It was an awesome experience

Heading up from near the detroit river this weekend, to hopefully catch some 4-5 lb smallies! Its a 4 hour trip from indiana, but I really wanna catch a few. I havent caoght a smallie that big yet. any help would be appreciated Thank you! btw I only catch and release!

I am looking for open tournaments only Not really wanting to join a club yet. any info would be helpful. Thanks

I used to fish cedarville res when I had my flat bottom boat but since I have the bigger boat I havent even thought of going up there maybe I should.. Can you use your big motor to get on and off your trailor at hurshtown? Where is cedar creek Is that accesible from shoaf park?

yeh I fish blue lake, lake everett. some lakes in columbia city I like webster but thats only for the muskie

Thanks I had mine on lipless traps thats what they caught em on too..

3lb 10 oz after the tourney

the winners on james

here is what happened on james chain yesterday

Here is my friend CJ and his partner Chris they won with a 20 + lb sack and a 5lb 10oz largemouth

Here is the pike

I weighed in zero fish. I caught 3 10 largemouth after the tourney was over. But I also landed a 33 inch 8 lb 5oz pike. my initial plan was to go up and fish snow but when I couted 17 boats heading that way I was discouraged so I changed the plan and went to jimmerson. Oh well!! Gonna go with my gut despite the pressure next time.. It was a great learning exp.

Thanks squid I feel like a kid the night before christmas!! Cant Wait to see what I get!!!! If anyone else wants to go check in in at 6:30 am at corner landing on James.. good luck to everyone!! ;D

No I am not in the club yet this will be my first experience in tournament fishing. So I have to taste something before I eat it!! ya know what I mean..see ya sat

Went to James today caught 5 but man the big fish would not bite water was 44.4 degrees in the flats. got any tips for cold water fishing?

Pre fished James today water was 44.4 deg at the high point. Caught a limit but only about 7 lbs worth of fish the big boys just were not biting.. Anyone have any tips for this cold water?

Lake James Indiana March 27th 8 am corner landing tounament being put on by Steuben County Bassmasters it is an open team tournament only $70 per boat includes big bass I am hoping to see a good turnout! See ya there...questions you can PM me

Went to Webster lake today 3 of us and didnt catch a thing bit it was nice to be out and about on the water tried everything too those bass on webster are a tough bite anyway and 39 degree water wasnt helping oh yeh and 25 mph nne winds wasnt making em jump in the boat hopefully get on james this coming weekend.

Ok lets see I have lost numerous pairs of sunglasses pliers oh yeh and my fiance flipped put of the boat early last spring it was funny until she tried to hop back into the flatbottom she almost flipped me and all my gear out. I started heading back to the ramp thinking she was done for the day and she spoke up and said what are you doing I am all wet I have to dry out before I get back in your truck so you might as well keep fishing. boy was I surprised as she pulled out a book ad dripping wet just started reading and didnt say a word the rest of the day.. good times!!! ;D
