MARCH 2010

Submitted 3/31/10

There was an enquiry on another page about veracity of reports on the Marsh and the negativity of one of our part time poor quality "guides" that works out here. This person who can't fish his way around a one acre pond would have you believe he is some type of "guru" out here. His latest claim: He's not taking anyone because the fish have left the lake!
 

You need to find out if that local that isn't taking anyone, works part time or full time - perhaps he's is one of those creatures that "has boat, is guide".

I quite sure that if you checked out the doom and gloom reports of this "guide" you would find that this type of reports have been spouted by him all along.

If the weather has cooperated than so have the fish. The last half of March has seen days with over 50 caught and days of being blown off the lake. We can safely report over 300 bass in the last half of the March. Some were pretty decent in size also.

















Perhaps if this local negative "guide" making such reports knew what he was doing he wouldn't have such a hard time finding fish such as those above. But, when you are out there only part time perhaps you only hit those days where weather turns all things bleak.

This has been a tough month weather-wise up to this point. The cold weather that has hit us has been substantial, and along with the cold there has been high-wind conditions.

That being said, when the weather has cooperated so have the fish. On the 7th and 9th I had Paul Rademaker and his son Josh out. On the 7th we didn't do all that well. It was the first day following extreme cold and wind and the water was cold and muddy. On the 9th things turned around for us and the 3rd fish of the day was this beautiful gal.

As I write this we find ourselves in another situation with the weather. Heavy rain and winds that accompany the thunderstorms have been our constant companion for the last couple of days.

We will be looking for a strong return of the bass to spawning areas starting with Monday and am hoping it is sustained this time.

See you on the water. Say hi if you have a chance. I do have a couple of days left this month and our big month, April, is still looking good.
