I've gone out 3 times bank fishing in the passed couple weeks. I landed one small bass on a weighted texas rig beaver at newton lake. Fished sunset lake with no luck, fished mary elmer next to sunset lake and caught a monster pickeral on a blade bait. Fished a couple other small ponds and missed two fish. Other than that its been slow. However the trout are still biting manged 3 of them this year so far.
Good luck to anyone still going out and trying in these tough cold water conditions!
