Last good winter day on Barren

Fished Barren yesterday pretty much all day and had a decent day, seeing as how it's mid January. The weather was perfect, overcast and in the 60's, no rain. Water temps I fished were around 47, and the water was stained to muddy. Level had risen several feet since last weekend. Fished the local Sunday big fish and C and R'd a decent limit of fish. Best fish was a 3.82 LM in chocolate milk colored water. Everything on crankbaits.

After the T was over at 1:00 me and Baby Huey went over to Ranger Bob's and choked down a bite, then went back out and fished till dusk. Wasn't able to duplicate the earlier success, we only had one shortie apiece.

It's supposed to get cold, and I'm figuring winter's finally gonna set in now. When the water gets down to the low 40's I'll be back to fishing for just a few bites a day.

I hear ya DH, I hate to see this dang ole cold stuff coming in. I was throughly enjoying this mild winter we were having. Nice report and I'm glad you been catching some fish, this cold crap is gonna screw everything up.:-(

Were you out in your new boat? How'd you like it?

Tight lines and God Bless
