Fished from our Pond Prowler all day on Saturday, March 26.  Blue bird skies, light wind from East and SE.  75 degrees.  WT varied from 62 in the morning to 70 in late afternoon.  Bites were few and far between with NO fish over 18."  Very surprised. Used top water early and late, plastics and cranks mid-day.  Only landed 6 bass, 2 overs and 4 unders.  Where were they?!?  High pressure was a factor, but should have had a few more.  We saw numerous schools of tiny fry hiding in shallow cover. Assuming these are bass fry and it takes 2-5 days to hatch depending on WT, so they probably spawned right around the full moon last week.  I guess ALL the females are in post-spawn recovery mode???

Beautiful, but challenging tank.  Lots of timber and brush.  Trolling motor took some abuse.  All banks quickly slide off into deep water, even back in creek arms and coves, so not much shallow water (flats) to fish.   Caught a few nice white perch in deep structure, but they weren't jumping in the boat neither.  Even caught 3 big bream pulling deep diving cranks!

I know this tank usually fishes better than that.  Weather and spawn timing were not in our favor, so we'll be back some day to give Hat & Star another shot!
