Jackson and I fished Lake Columbia Saturday and Sunday looking for an early repeat of last year. Unfortunately, a cold front had just passed through Friday. The lake was clear and the water temperature was 53.5 when we launched. The water temperature rose during the sunny day to a high of 64 degrees in an East cove. I believe we were too early by about a week as we only caught male bass (small). The first day we had many bites on a swimbait that we could not catch. The second day was better but the fish were still small for that lake. 2 1/2 pounds was the largest. Jackson caught some on a fluke too. Our total for the two days was 7, not good. It will be better in a week but turkey season starts next Sunday and rain is forecast for each day.
