    5/12 report

    It sucked! We went to bilby ranch over in Missouri today. I have had some awesome days there in the past. Today was brutal. Dead calm with full moon is absolutely worse conditions far as Im concerned. Caught two bass and one big catfish. Water was 72 and dirty in what I assume is post spawn. Luckily I leave for my annual Canada trip this Thursday

    I’ve fished there once 2 years ago and didn’t catch anything! I think every thing is fishing tough right now. Thanks for letting us know. I want you guys to have great days! But I do feel better hearing how hard it’s been for you guys because I’ve been struggling as well. I think it’s just the time of year.

    50/60’s but doesn’t matter. Right after ice out the smallies are just stupid aggressive and we average over 100 a day. Snowed on us one day and we still tore them up
