With the abnormal warm temperatures for this winter the typical spring patterns for the lake have started early this year. The size of the trout has been really nice up to 24″ so far. Also the Big Blue Catfish seem to be everywhere. We have been boating atleast one freshwater cat every trip. Typical trip has been 5-25 fish. Best bait this month has been the Shrimp Creole MATRIX Shad attatched to the 3/8oz Golden Eye Jig Head.
