Got out on a smaller flooded lake yesterday and we got on a pattern flipping and swimming jigs at wood varying between 3-8 feet deep. Best 5 went 22.8. Great way to kick off spring!

Thanks guys been fortunate to spend good time on the water lately. Im sure there would be bigger bags and certainly bigger fish if more of you could make it out during the week. Here's a few decent bronze from today and a long skinny green I caught shore fishing a pond yesterday.

The bite is SUPER SLOW so far this season. We've had way too many cold days for them to moving into the shallows for spawning, but I did catch this guy on March 31.

Caught my second 5er of the year on Tuesday slow crawling the 68 special around deep dock pilings. She completely choked the bait. With an appetite like this she has good potential!
