Thread: LOZ

2 of us fished 2 days last week. Water clarity was stained but not terrible around 12mm of main channel. We caught 9 the first day, went to the gravois arm the next, water clarity was better but only caught 11.

Fished it March 6, 7 and 8th. Pulled two 1/16 oz jigs on 6 lb clear fluorocarbon in the large creek arms between the 46 and 57 mile markers. Fish were in the mouth of the arms early in the day 17 to 23 ft deep. We pulled at .6 to .7 and caught a few and at about 11 am throughout the afternoon the fish rose in the water column to 7 to 12 feet and we adjusted speeds between .8 to 1.1 to move the baits up with the fish. Some fish also moved back to the middle of the arms as the day went on. Water temps started at 44 and rose to 47 by late afternoon. Caught good numbers and wound up each day with a quality limit of fish. Things should be on and consistent from here on. Use your electronics to locate the concentration of fish in the arms fish those areas and watch your electronics and move with the fish. If you don't see them - move. Good Luck

Thank you!! I'll be down next week for a few days, looking to start pitching retrieving around dock and dock corners...looks to be setting up for a great spring

GREAT response and specifics on how to find and ketch them. WTG that's how we do it on CDC. fisherfolk helping one another. LOVE it.

Caught about 15 or so yesterday with about 6 keepers. Today, about 4 and no keepers. Cold out for sure - just trying docks with jigs and minnows

gonna go try Friday and Saturday. Any update? I’m guessing the rain slowed them down even slower...
