Water temps: 56-58
Air temp: 38-44
Wind: Steady 10-15 mph all day
Not a lot to report. Fishing was tough. Couldn't hold the boat in a spot. Couldn't cast very accurately due to wind. Picked up 3 Largemouth on a worm. And one on a jig. All under or nearby docks. Bright side, all fish were over 2.5 lbs. biggest was 3.5. Saw zero topwater feeding. But was a good day regardless. Fished Blackwater side.

Nice report - seems some big bass are feeding now..... Travis landed that 9 lber last weekend and we had a big one take a 8" shad today that was 5' from the boat when it dropped the bait

That's what Travis said his Boga's read.... he'd certainly not have any reason to stretch the truth on an ol' green fish  I just figured those Tiger Bass are really growing fast  A couple of pic snags from Facebook   |

Travis is one of the most conservation minded fisherman I know - respects all species - so I be suprised if it wasn't - released - but I'm sure it was a fish of a lifetime for his client - heck any of us. |

There was an effort this year in which private funds were raised for a DGIF approved stocking of "F1 Tiger" bass strain - supposed to grow a bit faster and be a bit more aggressive fish. I forget the numbers stocked but it was about 1/acre I believe. There are plans for a second stocking next year.
