3/7/20 - Saturday

 

Launched at Shady Acres. On the water a little after 10:00am off around 7:00pm.

 

Water temp was 55 to 59. Water was stained. Ambient temp started mid 40's and climbed to mid 60's. Cloudy sky, sun came out for about 30 minutes then disappeared until sunset. Wind was 5 - 10.

 

Fished shallow tree islands (thats what I call 'em) for an hour or so with no bites. Then onto a little shallow cove. As soon as I got there I saw fish popping the surface. Threw a 6' red lizard, watermelon swimming shad and H&H chartreuse spinner bait. Caught 1 2lb'er and had 3 blow ups on the lizard in 1' to 2' of water. All the action came at the grass line.

 

Tried a shore line - no joy.

 

Tried another tree island - no joy.

 

Last spot of the day, a tree line with no grass in 4' of water, caught 3 bass and 1 gar. All on the H&H. A 4lb'er full of eggs and a couple of bucks. 

  

Just remember to wear your purple and gold and yell "Geaux Tigers" when you set the hook and you will have a  fantastic season.

 

If you wear green, blue and white and get confused as to what a green weenie is you will never catch another fish in your life.

 

Good luck and keep sending those pictures.

 

Geaux Tigers!
