With me being in-between boats my report is going to be second hand; I expect my 2017 Ranger boat to be ready no later than this Monday. Fishing however is becoming typical winter type patterns with some big bites, with bites being limited but size being the kicker to a good day. The fish seem to be in various depths with the bite being deeper early in the day and shallower as the day warms from the December sun.



Most folks are fishing slowly, with Tight-Line jigs, big Punisher one oz. type spinner baits and SPRO rattle baits (Aruka Shad) as the shallower bait for up in the warming part of the day. Depth appears to be in the 15 to 20 feet range early in the day then 6 to 10 feet as the day progresses and warms. The big females are moving on up in the day as they normally do as we progress further into winter.

With all the small fish we caught this fall, I really expect 2017 to be much better than last year; at least it’s shaping up that way. I am booking for 2017 now; I am also selling Christmas gift certificates. If you’re looking to set up some of your customers with some great entertainment bass fishing is a great way to do it. Come fish with me no one will treat you better!
