Got on the water with Dave @4:30, like last week it was foggy but today was much colder, went to Becky’s Cove hoping to reproduce like last week but it was tough. The fog and cold weather seems to hold them down, didn’t really get much until the sun came out. Went back to Hauser and got a nice 4.13 ...

Thanks Michael. I learned from the best, gotta have that braid!

Got out usual time, Jose let us in early, wasn’t too busy at Pigs, met our buddies Dave and Joe, headed to Hauser. Consistently good popper bite ALL day, even got one on a Rat, the biggest was 4lb on a frog! Braided line really got it done, did lose some big fish on barbless hook, but overall ...

Googan bait

Nice work!

Yes that fog was insane! I was more fearful about boaters not having lights. I stuck around main lake until sunlight, found new areas otherwise I would never fished. Caught a nice 3.5 on the new crawler.

Even with the wind I managed to kept the popper going all day. Biggest was 4.5, ended up @40 mostly top water and spooks

Got to water with Dave @4:30, unusually windy but managed to get them on the crawler, a couple of 3 pounder.
Headed back to Hauser after Dave left and started with the frog, dragging it over the thick mat of cheese and when there’s a water opening the bass would explode on it. Gotta have braided ...

Nice work Michael, those are healthy bass, only negative i have is trying to get all that moss/white fluffy flower that'd stick to the braid off. I guess you have to work for them.

Got on the water @4:30 with Dave and Steve, and it was already 70 degrees! The water is down @10 feet since two weeks ago, headed to Becky’s. For the first 2-3 hours I got skunked, which was really puzzling, Dave wasn’t doing great either. The lower water must’ve drove the bass deeper and the green ...

Headed out usual time with Dave and Steve, warm 70 degrees, light wind. The fishing in the morning has been slow, especially top water until daylight. My usual crawler, popper did most of the damage. Got a couple of 2s,3s and 4.9, the explosion on each is awesome! Also found an area where it was ...

Here are some pictures

Nice work Steve. Yes it was hot

When they hit that bigger crawler, it's the best!! especially when it's calm and silent in the morning.

Got out with the usual suspects, Dave and Steve. Much cooler than last week, 53 degrees, last week was 71 at 4:30am. Water level continues to drop, which could have caused the morning bite to be slower, that and the cooler weather. Did start to catch them on top when daylight came, a couple of ...

Thanks.
Which crawler?

Got out @4:30 with Steve, missing Dave this morning, surprisingly we were the only two at pigs. The water is down again since two weeks ago, headed to Becky’s and started picking them on popper and crawler. Sun came out and fish started busting everywhere, these were good size 2-3 lb on the spook ...

Usual time with Dave and Steve, warm morning, bite was slow, could be because of the full moon or lower water. An occasional busters, but not like last week. Finally found an area back of Hauser which produced consistent popper, crawlers action. Most were averaging 2-3 lbs, ended with @40, left @1pm ...

This is for anyone interested in going late January , Dave(early release) and I are planning to go back, pm me and i will give you the details.

The cooler air temperature had something to do with the slower top water bites. Did get 4 on frog early, ended up with 25 healthy bass, crawler and popper worked well with a pause
