So we left off with the last report saying that March is the time for a B-I-G fish. Went out this morning to scout some fish for the up coming week and low and behold I found some birds, some arches on the depth finder and most importantly some B-I-G fish pushing bait on the surface. Once again you had to be astute in order to pick out the fish from the birds picking up dying baitfish. However, once you get past that we found shots at ones, two’s and three’s for the better part of 90 minutes. Landed one pig which punched out 27 lbs on the boga grip. Had shots at several others too. Also landed a 12 lb fish on a dock light at 6am. Both fish hit my 3″ baitfish pattern in olive. It is pretty obvious that the fish are chasing blue back herring around. A good friend throwing a weighted fluke hooked 3 today as well. He was fishing beside me and his fish ranged from the upper teens into the low twenty pound mark. I received good reports on other parts of the lake as well. Now is the time to get out there and give it a try.
See you on the pond! HC
