Great Day at Buckboard with the wife and dog

We had a great day of fishing out of Buckboard this morning. Got on the water at 7:30 and it was on !! There were fish everywhere, you could have started trolling out of the marina and limited out in an hour ! We lost as many as we landed, and thanks to my crappy netting, lost the big fish of the day. We limited out easily and then caught some mini-macs. Looked for bass but the water is still a little cold. The hot set-up was anything you put down there, but we caught the kokes on RMT dodgers and pink UV squids. The wife and dog had a great time. Enjoy the pics !!

WAY TO GO!

You say the water temp was too cold for smallies, what was the temp. They were in late pre-spawn two weeks ago at the derby but still catchable. Big Fish of the derby was a 4.8# smallie. Oh well, it won't be long now with this week's warm spell.

I have been coming up here for the last 2-3 years at Buckboard and have done pretty well but fishing right now is exactly what you describe-it's off the scale for kokes-best I've ever encountered.

Maybe I will see you on the water tomorrow-I'll just look for the dog. He's hard to miss..... :)

I only tried one cove at big bend for bass. the surface temps were around 54 everywhere. There was a 3 day bass tournament on the lake last week, so they got pounded. I dont know the lake that well to find bass that aren't in the shallows, right near shore !!! I hope to be back in a few weeks, it took me years to get my wife into fishing, and when the fishing it that good, it makes it fun for both of us.
