Slow day

[bluebasser86]

My friend Chris and I finally got out for our first day of fishing since last October. We went to one of the powerplant lakes and the outlet had just started to blow a small puff of smoke when we started catching the white bass. They were tiny and we fished most of the big flat to the north of the outlet trying to find some bigger whites or wipers. Most of the bass we caught came off of a point that is the most southern part of the rock wall on the north end by the river. Caught several off that point, mostly on jerkbaits but did get a fish on a pitboss also. My biggest on a jerkbait was probably around 2.5.

We fished all the way down that wall, the river mouth because there were birds diving, and the island. Only part we caught fish off of was the deeper stretch of bank closest to the outlet. Caught the biggest of the day on our second pass down that stretch on a red craw H2O sqarebill.

Caught a couple off of the rock bank in between the cabins and the main ramp. Also caught one off of the dam on a jerkbait. I hooked something at the outlet on the dam on a shakeyhead but it pulled me down into some brush and came off, not sure if it was a bass or not. Pretty slow day but it was nice weather once it warmed up and way better than being at home doing nothing!
