This morning I did some scouting on Stillhouse in advance of the big Spring Break week coming soon (10-14 March).
Slowly but surely the fishing is beginning to emerge from the deep freeze.
The good news is that the water has warmed, and the fish have begun to move up shallower. In fact, I caught all my fish today between 22-28 feet and found the deeper haunts where the fish have laid low all winter devoid of fish and bait. The bad news is that the water is still very cold and there is yet another winter storm on the way which will likely erase the gains we’ve had and perhaps even drop temperatures further. But, such is Spring fishing — you have to dress warm, go often, and roll with the punches!
Today I boated fish steadily, finding them in small groups of 3-5 fish. All fish came on a small 3/8 oz. TNT 180 slab and most came on an “easing” technique, with a few actually striking the lure while at rest while I was “slabbing”.
I boated 27 fish, including 25 white bass and 2 short largemouth.
TALLY = 27 FISH, all caught and released
