Spring Lake

My son and I hit Spring Lake this afternoon.  He had fished it Saturday with good luck so wanted to try it again.  Got out a little afternoon and was surprised at how few other boats were out.  We concentrated on north shores in one of the larger bayous off the main lake.  A lot of small males up in the shallows along with the occasional big girl to liven things up.  All together landed in excess of 50 with about a dozen going in the three pound plus range.....largest went just over four.  All were LGs except one 3lb smallie and a 32 inch pike. Great way to start the season.

Nice. I fished that lake one time, probably 8 years ago, and didn't get a single bite. The only thing I do on that lake now is recreational boating. How was the water clarity?  I would assume it would be pretty muddy yet.

Visibility was pretty poor, about a foot or so.  Surface temps were surprisingly quite high in these back water canals and bays,  upper fifties.
