| Fishing Notes |
|---|
You know the bite is tough when Wayne Fitzpartick, Owner of Fitz Fishing on Osage Beach and Successful Tournament Veteran, only bags 3 bass and two keepers. Today we fished brush piles with Crock o Gator jigs, Chompers Grub and Crock-o-Gator Swamp Bug, but the only bass boated were on the Megabass jerk bait. We did miss some bites in the brush and Wayne had one break off on the hook set using the COG Swamp Bug. The bass were just not in the mood to bite today, perhaps the drastic drop in water temperatures the past week (47-39) and the water generation that has dropped the lake quite a bit in just a few days. However, from what we can see on the graph, the bass are stacking up, they are around brush piles and typical winter spots in ditches, around channel swings and steep banks near deep water. Hopefully as they get comfortable with the change of the water, they will turn on in the next couple of days. |
