SPRING BREAK FISHING MARATHON – Day Three, 267 Fish, 15 March ’17

Thanks to the statewide public school Spring Break this week, my fishing calendar is completely full with 2 trips per day scheduled each day from Monday through Saturday.  Each day I aim to provide a quick snapshot of the action …  Wednesday I split time between Belton in the AM targeting white bass on slabs and hybrid stripers on live shad, and Stillhouse in the PM targeting white bass on slabs.  The returning south wind surely helped the bite today.
