Greers Ferry Fishing Report 3/17/2013

TRANSITION is the word of the day!  As I head to Lake Fork Texas to guide for MONSTER largemouth I wanted to give all of you an update of what to expect right now and for the next couple of weeks here on Greers Ferry.  Water Levels are holding above normal pool, with a little rain in the forecast we may just have another year of water in the bushes for the spawn.  Right now water surface temperatures are ranging from the upper 40's to almost 60 degrees in some areas with colored water.  Water temperatures at 10 feet and deeper fall of quickly as it takes days of warming to saturate the entire column.  This is very important to note this time of year as fish of all species prefer stable or warming water temperatures. As the water warms and stabilizes in the mid 50's over the next couple of weeks the bite will most certainly improve.  Big Gizzard Shad and Thread fins are already starting to move up and will start spawning in the shallower water with the coming full moon.  All types of game fish will be on the feed in preparation for the spawn and recovery after they have dropped their eggs.White Bass will be running, Crappie will be bighting and the walleye bight will drastically improve. Concentrate your efforts in 15 feet of water or less and you will catch fish.  The Cindy K Spinner, Fish Dinner Lures Shad Spoon, Swim Baits, Grubs, Tubes, Crank baits, Jerk Baits and other shad imitating baits will produce. If you have any question's about our lake or would like to book a Spring or Summer fishing trip here on Greers Ferry shoot me an email, Text or Call with question's or to book your trip.
