Gotta love middle Georgia weather

There was snow on the ground at my house last week - not much, and the only
time this year,so far. Sunday I picked a daffodil in my yard, the first one.
Today the thermometer in the shade on my deck hit 82 degrees, and highs all
week are supposed to be in the 70s.

Went to West Point yesterday and started at 9:00 AM. First cove I fished I got
a 17 inch bass on a spinnerbait about half-way back. Went to the next cove and
got a 3 pounder off some rocks on a jig and pig - about half way back. A little
way past that I got a 15 inch bass on a jerk bait.

Looked like a great pattern - bass moving in staging. Water was 52 to 54 and it
was cloudy. Then at 10:30 it was like a knife cut the clouds and pushed them
away - went from full clouds to not a cloud in sight in about 30 minutes.
Didn't get another bite and stayed till 4:00 PM. Surface temp had gone from 52
at 9 AM to 56 at 4 PM at the ramp.

Have a club tournament there Sunday. Supposed to be warm all week - until
SUNDAY when a bad cold front is supposed to come thru. Oh well ........

With you being absent from rofb for a little bit, I figured you were
fishing! Weathers nice here in Tennessee too, and so far my plans for this
weekend is to renew my fishing license and give Percy Priest a workover.
This is my favorite time of the year, and the time of year that my best
catches are made. Good luck on your tournament!

If only the rain would stay away...

The weather in Kentucky is looking like spring also, and I just put my
tackle in the truck, and think I'll hit a few spots on Kentucky Lake
this week. My nephew went out a couple days ago and came home and told
me that I better shed the winter hybernation thing and get my butt out
there....he just had to tell me about the day he had. He also
challenged me to a game of golf...I can beat his butt in golf, but he
wins it all back on the water, damn kids these days are learnng the
tricks alot earlier !

Wow Ronnie,your post makes me reminisce about Yellowjacket Creek in the
springtime at West Point.I used to always do well on that lake,good luck
this weekend.I went out on Old Hickory today for a while,competing w/ the
FLW guys for a spot while they practice for next weeks tourney.

On Sunday, I was basking in 56 degree heat! Sleeves rolled up, driving with
the window down, it was wonderful. The Weather Guessers are predicting 2-8
inches of snow tomorrow....
