March 2023 – Freshwater
BY: Tim / 0 COMMENTS / CATEGORY: Uncategorized
March was on fire! After the fish have spawned, the bass tend to feast on the new fry that consist of minnows, shad, and other baby bass. Balls of bait fish get corralled by schooling fish, and this is where we’d see them busting on the surface. The challenge wasn’t choosing what lure to use, but rather making sure we were within casting distance of the corralled bait. This was easier said than done, as sometimes the schools moved away too quickly. However, when we would get those top water strikes, there’s nothing more exciting!
As you know, most of our trips are with families. Long cast and refined retrieval tactics are things to be learned in the future, so for now we’d focus on using live shiners to ensure we were maximizing our chances for success. There were times in March we had to be a little patient, but all in all we caught a good amount of largemouth bass, bowfin, and long-nose gar. We are looking forward to April, and hopefully we can add some crappie to the list. Thank you for reading!
