hey everyone how's it going Tristan here with Lake Pro tackle I just wrote a brand new fishing report for Lake Bonham so I'm going to talk about it real quick with you guys uh this was out on March 14th I went out with a buddy and my dad we were just out there fun fishing having a good time uh the Water Clarity that day was about six inches regardless of where you were in the lake and then the water temperature range from about 58 degrees to 62 degrees the backs of the pockets was actually the coldest water because we had just had some rain a few days before making the backs of the pockets a little bit muddier and a little bit colder so we spent most of the day on the main lake on Main Lake and secondary points on the first quarters of the creek arms where the fish were staging to move up and spawn once the backs of The Creeks warmed up and we were targeting docks Rock and uh grass on those points in about four to six feet of water or less and the main bait was a z-man jackhammer chatterbait in the 3 8 ounce size but we also did catch a few on a Berkeley power bank flipping jig and the 3 8 ounce size and also a 3 8 ounce Texas rigged lizard so if you want to see the exact color styles and sizes of baits we were throwing that day out on Lake Bottom make sure you head over to the website lakeprotackle.com and click on the lake button on fishing report and you can see my report there and all of the details for the weather the baits and the water conditions we appreciate y'all watching and good luck next time out on the water
