3-1-13 Colorado River

Great fishing today on the Colorado River near Smithville. I fished with Mike and Ben Thompson. We caught quite a few nice Guadalupe Bass up to 3 pounds. We caught a few Largemouth Bass as well. The fish of the day was a huge Largemouth Bass.​ We caught most of our fish on a crawfish patterns. we also picked up a few on weighted Clouser minnows. The water was in the high 50s in the morning and rose into the low 60s later in the day. The low last night was in the high 20s. Despite the cold temperatures the bass were pretty active. Bass fishing should really pick up in the next few weeks as temperatures rise.
