I fished this property on March 19th from 8 - 3:30. The water level is about 4ft below the pier. Grass was not that much of an issue on the lower end.

I have informed PWF that the boat has a small crack on the stern. I have marked it with a red marker. Duct tape will probably work for a quick fix. I need to add that to my supplies. Now for the details.

Conditions:

Water temp: 65

Air temp: 55 - 78

Slightly stained water

Wind did pick-up after lunch

I caught 9 with only 1 under 14” which I culled.  The rest were 14-19”. The largest weighed just under 3lbs.

Successful lures:

Zara spook (1, lost 1)
Med diving crank ( pearl, black/chart.) (6)
MJ rig (I think that is what Timmy Horton called it) green (2, lost 1)

The MJ rig is a senko with a weighted or unweighted hook and the other end cut back about 1/2” with a small willow leaf blade attached to that end with a screw eye). This is a very good lure for weeds that also has good flash and noise.

Unsuccessful lures

Swallow diving cranks
Jerk baits
Rattle trap
Deep diving cranks
