Murray report 3/28

Most of you know I fish Murray 3-4 days per week.  I am retired and I go there after dropping the kids off at school.  I fish until it's time to pick them up and head home.

I've been averaging 7 fish per day almost exclusively BFS fishing.  The most productive bait has been a tiny green pumpkin Brush Hog on a Keitech 1//16 oz. Mono-spin jig head.  Most are in the two lb. range with the occasional 5-6 pounder sprinkled in.

Early in the morning I've had success casting to the bank and pulling it back.  After about 9 AM they seem to move back out to 10, 15, and even 20 ft. depths.   The water temp. has been about 62° and I haven't seen any fish bedding yet.   I did see a kayak guy land an 8 pounder on an A-rig; casting out to 30 ft., letting it sink, then slow rolling it along the bottom.  I don't fish A-rigs.  Too many hooks, and I don't want to sink my old fat ass.

Anyway it's been pretty good out there.  If you make it out, be sure to say hello to the old guy in the cowboy hat.  Always fun to meet folks from the forum out on the water!

Tight lines!

Thanks for the report and sharing information.

I'm glad to see someone etting out and finding a few fish.

Thank you for your fish report with pictures.
You really have the ability to pull out some toes from that puddle!
Excellent fishing, sir!

Way to get out and fish so much! It scratches the itch for the rest of us until we get back on the water.
