Bo White, his wife, and friend Greg arrived at the ramp at daylight. Scott met them with live well loaded with shiners and they departed for the Farm. They started at the spillway and ended at the spillway. The twist to that is the start and the finish was at two different spillways. The first in the SE corner of the Farm only produced sporadically and was harboring a healthy crop of pickerel. However, as you can see by the photo, the second spillway was producing fish more to their liking. Placement of the shiners was extremely critical, but dropping them in the right spot turned what would have been a so-so day into a good day. I fished a half day with friend Don Willis and we worked several areas of the Farm and the Marsh. We found fish in the southern areas of the Farm. We didn't find fish in the Stick Marsh and we spent a bit of time in the NW areas. Mostly what we saw were bucks making ready for the upcoming spawn but we did manage to get a couple of ladies also. Senkos were the bait that worked, although we tried buzz baits, spinner baits, rattletraps, and jerk baits. The wind wasn't too bad which was a major improvement over the last couple of weeks. We have a very busy week coming up with lots of people vying for 1st position in our contest. Some lucky fisherman is going to really enjoy the $2500 first prize and all they have to do is catch the biggest fish between now and the end of April. See you on the water. Say hi if you get the chance.
