Is it Spring that I see....

Friday, Feb. 26, 2010, my friend Joel and I went to Ky Lake to chase them "Fat Girls". We had mostly blue bird skies, wind got a little breezy later in the day, water was 43-46 degrees. And what a day it turned out to be. We had 23 lbs 4 oz, on the x-tool scales, with our 5 keepers we caught. Caught a total of approximately 20 fish on jerkbaits and crankbaits. I caught my fish using Powell Rods 703cb glass rod with 12 lb flourocarbon line. I also caught the LARGEST "FAT GIRL" that I have ever caught a 7 lb 15 oz PIG.

The ICE is almost all gone....

Yes, just very little ice left on Cedar Lake. Water temps were 39-43 degrees. Shad are dying everywhere on the  main lake. We did find big schools of shad in the backs of pockets flipping around. This is also where the warmest water was found. The bite was tough for my partner Darrel and I today we had only 1 fish for 2.93 lbs. not the way we would have like to finish the Winter Div, but not unhappy with the way this Div. went. It took 15+ lbs. to win with 2nd place being around 8.5 lbs. Overall, from what I heard from the other teams it was tough on them too. So, now that the Winter div. on Cedar is over. It's time to get ready for the LBL Div. of the BFL's.

Come on SUN melt this ice !!!!!

OK, went to Cedar this mornin. Thought it was goin to be a good day of fishin. PROBLEM, backed boat trailer down ramp at Carbondale and out on the ice. Thats right, out on the ice!! Not much open water out as far as I could see. So, my buddy Joel and I went to Egypt. A little tough today but what a great day. Blue bird skies most a the day and a light breeze. Water was 40-54 degrees. We had 2 over the 16in limit today. And had another swirl on a crankbait at the boat. So the final winter div. TUBFC is Sunday Feb. 21st on Cedar Lake. we will see how it turns out.

Fishing this week...

Well, fishing for me this week was not the best for me. Went to Cedar Lake on Wednesday morning and the gate to the Carbondale ramp was locked. So, drove over to Egypt to fish for a few hours, with no luck, caught 1 shorty fish. On Thursday, My buddy Joel and I went to Kentucky Lake, we had 3 keepers. Well I say we, but he had 3. I caught a shorty and about a 6lb "DRUM". I thought maybe I had him on "BIG DRUM" for the day, But no he caught 1 about 10-12lbs.  Water was a little dirty, Temp was 43-44,Wind east around 10. Not a good week of fishing for me. "Cabin Fever" is gone for now.
