What a great week for the Fisherman, loads of Bass were taken most days this week except one day when the water fell so fast, it kept their mouths shut.

Caleb Crews and Dominic Crews were here with the Baker County Bassmasters. Caleb had a 5 1/2-pound bass while Dominic had two at 3 pounds.  They were cousins.

The first grown mayflies has been seen on the lake. It’s most likely the largest ever for them.

Two boats reported 35 bass between them, they are part of the group that take pictures and throw them back.

Crappie came in in droves. One boat reported three limits of crappie taken on minnows, 34 crappie taken on jigs upstream, one boat had two limits of crappie in the 2-pound class.
