Patoka Report

[EJHick]

Well went out and practiced for the BFL Patoka tournament today. Can you say brrrrrr. It started snowing and the wind was blowing out of the northwest about 20mph, white caps on main lake. BUT had 6 good fish, 5 best weighed over 19 lbs. 6 fish, 5 keepers. A 5,4(smallie),4,3.5,3...The smallie came first, then dry spell...then got a double on with my partner(the 5 & 3.5) that was pretty cool. Not alot of bites at all, but the fish we caught were INHALING the baits, fat bellies to. Same pattern probably will not hold up next weekend with warming temps., but hopefully it will. Well tight lines, I'm going to unthaw now.

Great report....thanks for the update. Water temps? Areas you fished? Water clarity?

[EJHick]

Water temps. ranged from 45-49 degrees. From bridge leading into little patoka water was muddy, on out it was stained with about 2' visibility in most areas.
