The fish are bitin!


This past Friday was a great day on the lake. We caught over 50 white bass that were bustin at the seams, full of eggs. Now is the time of year to have the opportunity to catch some 'big sow' white bass. They sometimes gain up to half pound or more over their normal weight in preparation for the springtime spawning run. These big 'Sandies' can be caught all the way through the month of April before they are completely spawned out. The fun doesnt end there though, as these post spawn fish go on a feeding frenzy to rebuild some of that lost energy and weight during the spawn.
