2020 MARCH BASS FISHING

This is been a crazy month with everything going on in the world. Fishing his been awesome with warmer weather. The lakes are starting to hit middle 50’s here in Kansas. You better grab a rod and go fishing. Remember to practice insolation, just fish with house members and don’t stop at many places on the way to the lake.

A goal this year is to catch Hundred fish over 3 pounds. We already have 21 at the end of March. Some of the lakes we have fished are Sam Rayburn in Texas, and we have spent a lot of days on Melvern with the best being on cold, cloudy days. Also, we have fished a couple of smaller lakes, and our last trip of the month was on Perry lake.

The best lures in Texas were Jerkbaits, Senko and Jigs. Wish I would have spent more time throwing a Jig. Back in Kansas, best baits have been lipless Crankbaits, Swimbaits, Ned Rig and Jigs.

I would say April going to be very incredible. Two things to look for is warmer water and watch the Moon Phases as the best days will be two to three days before and after the Full Moon and New Moon. A couple of baits to try are Spinnerbaits, Square Bills and Soft Plastics. Maybe a big swimbait could catch you a big fish. With everything going on, grab your rods and go fishing, Good Luck!!!!

Sam Rayburn Final Day


Last day on Sam Rayburn. Had a great last day catching fish on jigs and Jerkbaits. We caught around 45 fish with a couple of 3 and 4 pounders. It was a great trip. I had fun making memories with the boys.

Sam Rayburn Part 2 Day 3

We had a really good afternoon when we moved to a different area of the lake. Nick was able to catch a good fish. Kyle got tired of catching spotted bass. Watch to the end. Kyle thought it was still basketball season. Best bait was a Senko, but I started to catch some on a 1/2oz. Flippin’ jig Green Pumpkin w/Beaver Green Pumpkin Trailer.

Sam Rayburn Part 1 Day 3

On day three it started out foggy, so we decided to stay in the take off area. There is always released fish from tournaments. We were able to catch two three pounders and a couple of keepers. It was a very productive day. In one pocket Nick caught six fish. We ended up with 36 fish for whole day. Most of the fish up to this point have been caught on Chatterbait and Senko.

Sam Rayburn Trip Day 1 & 2


I decided to surprise the Twins with a Trip to Sam Rayburn for Spring Break. There was a group of guys from the Flint Hills Bass Club that have gone to Sam Rayburn the last couple of years. So, we decided to join them. The boys were excited hearing we were going. Sunday morning around 1:30 am, we left for Sam Rayburn. It was an 11 hour trip. When we finally got there, the boys and I decided to put on the lake. We were able to get in two hours of fishing; catching 8 but lost 5.

Next Day, when we got on the water, we fished the south side because the wind was supposed to blow. We ended up catching a lot of spotted bass. Catching most of the fish on Senko and Hard Jerkbaits. I did lose one big fish on a Football Jig in some brush that we never saw. At the end of the day, we were only able to catch 14 bass and losing 8 fish. The fish were biting very weird with the rain and full moon. Hoping the next couple of days would be better.
