Caddo Lake - Jeems Bayou 3/13/20

3/13/20 - Friday

Launched at Shady Acres. On the water a little around 7:15am off around 4:30pm.

Water temp was 65 to 68. Water was stained. Ambient temp started high 60's and fell to low 60's. Cloudy all day. Front was coming in and hit about 8:30am.  Rained/sprinkled on/off all day. In the morning wind was calm, after the front it picked up to maybe 5, around 2pm she was blowing a good 10, white caps on main lake.

Started in a protected cove where the first 2 fish were caught. No fish activity seen. Lots of grass and a handful of trees. Started with a 6" red lizard, threw it until I had no more.   1st catch of the day was 3lb 12oz on a tree. Caught a buck on another tree.

Caught 10 bass and 1 Crappie. All in coves on "grassy" trees. 9 of em, including the Crappie, were on the lizard. The last one was on a Spanish Craw trick worm. Biggest was the first one I caught, smallest was the second one caught, the others were in the 2lb to 3lb range. It was a steady bite all day.

Have a question. Ifn a bad day of fishing beats a good day of working, what does a good day of fishing beat?

Going to Cane River with my farther in-law tomorrow.
