Tailing Ponds Number 2 Fishing Report

Surface temps are starting about 57 and we're seeing some 60 degree water later in the afternoon. Lake level is -6.38. It hasn't been one the better March months I've seen here so far. We've had cold front after cold front come in here, and most of them fronts have had horrific north winds. But now midway through the month we are seeing more bucks and a few females pulling up very shallow. With more consistent warmer nights and days I think the spawn will begin in the next few days. I think some of the early large females have started spawning in the larger trees a little bit deeper. we should see a large wave pull up shortly. April should be a great month fish spawning all over the lake. We're mostly fishing plastics in 2' to 5" of water in spawning areas. Tx. rig and wacky has been our go-to techniques. On the real windy days chatter baits and square bills have proven successful. I will give more details on colors in my next report as now they vary. I have some April dates available if your looking for a guide. The attached image is from a recent charter with some new Bass anglers- We had a great day on the water and caught this nice slugger! Tight lines and good fishing!
