Water Temps: 74
Air Temps: low 80's
Water Clarity: 2-3 feet
Best Baits: Yamamoto Swimming Senko and Chug Bug

Monday I worked the Marsh briefly and the results were mediocre. Wednesday was the same. Artificials coaxed a few bass, but nothing to write home about.

This morning I teamed up with Don Willis and we headed for the Farm. It was a late start and we were greeted with warm temperatures and clear weather.

Starting just south of the E/W ditch we worked our way southward throwing spinner baits, rattle traps, and plastics without much success. However things were about to change as we got deeper into the southern end of the Farm. I switched to the Yamamoto Swimming Senko and almost immediately had a bass on. And so it went for the balance of the morning as we gathered bass on most casts.

Don switched out to a chug bug and had a bass within the first couple of casts. Yamamoto Swimming Senkos, and top water were the baits that produced consistently over the three hours that we fished.

I have eighteen trips over the next three weeks and I expect that they are going to be in for some dynamic fishing as the bass will stay put for the next couple of months. As they prepare for the upcoming spawn I would to expect to find the larger bass outside, although they will be roving females wandering the bedding areas.

Three bass slammed the chug bug today that were in excess of seven pounds and and the balace of the thirty two that made it to the boat were a mixed bag of Senko and Bug biters.

I still have some January openings and of course February and March openings also. Give a call, because the action is here! See you on the water: say hi if you get the chance.
