Jackson and I started fishing this morning late, just before 10, in an effort to let things warm up some. The water is still about 1 1/2 feet lower than normal but it is up in the grass that grew up last summer while the lake was low. Temperature was 52 degrees to start and warmed to as much as 57.  Clarity was about 18 to 24 inches and there was a good green bloom. All that didn’t help us much as we only caught one and that was on a on a swim bait. We had two other bites with one of those coming to the top before it escaped. We rummaged through our tackle boxes but could not find the bait that would unlock the puzzle. Going to get cold so we will have to wait before going back. Lake Chicot is up 8 feet and is closed to boating, so it is out too.
