Well I just got back from big sandy. Stayed at fishtale lodge and they were great as usual, but the weather was absolutely LOUSY I left n.w. Indiana in a snow storm and arrived down there to rain, cold, and wind! Thats the bad news, the good news is we made lemonade out of lemons.....it just would have been alot more enjoyable if we didn't have to deal with such bad conditions ! fished the bay at eagle creek drifting with 1/4 oz. bare jighead tipped with minnow under a bobber 8-9ft. down in 8-11ft. of water {cuz of the wind } Chartruse was the best color. Not any true slabs but we only tossed back a handful most were 10-14 in. Fished deep water in the begining and caught some from 18-33 ft. of water but couldn't find them in any quantity or size. Hope it helps anyone heading down soon.
