For the Week Ending Sunday, March 10, 2019

Thursday, March 7 (from Ron)...Fished Tecumseh last night from 4 o'clock until just after dark. Had one small chain pickerel yak side, but he threw the hook. All the better, as it was near freezing, and I didn't want to handle the slime dart. 'Twas warmer this evening, so tried Back Bay and found one lone bass at 2-10 on the micro spinnerbait to avoid the skunk. Weather doesn't look too good for the weekend.

Friday, March 8 (from Ron)...Fished North Landing River near the draw bridge and a creek mouth. Between 4 and 5 p.m., things weren't going very well, and I assumed another skunk was in store. Then, suddenly, I found a little pocket of bass, and for 15 minuets had a blast catching six dinks to 13 inches. Didn't quite have bass thumb, but it was fun on light tackle with the micro spinner. Had one sunfish on that I failed to land. Surprised I didn't get any panfish or pickerel.

Saturday, March 9 (from Ron)...Fished Milldam today from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tried everything everywhere on a nice long trip. Only managed one 1-5 bass to avoid the skunk. Except for the wind, it was a good day to be out. Odd that my only fish was so light in color, compared to the ones I caught in North Landing. The micro spinner again was my ticket to success.

Sunday, March 10 (from Ron)...Fished from 10 a.m. 'til  3 p.m. and found three bass (a dink, 1-12 and 1-13) on deep crankbaits (5 - 10 ft) in the burrow pit of northeast Tecumseh. Really wanted chain pickerel but couldn't find any. Very surprised that the snakes were out this time of year already.
