Those are some nice looking fish ya have there. Are they as good eating as bass?
Well, I haven't fished Milner, and would love some information regarding where to go.
On Saturday the 28th my boy and I went with a couple friends in their boat to Massacre rocks. The main river is still under 50 degrees (48-49). Some of the shallower areas were 51-53 degrees. Water color was off. I believe they have been letting more water out of AF dam lately and that hasn't helped the temp or the clarity. My friend landed one 16" smalley and that was it. We usually can see the bass in the shallows but its either too cold or too off color to see them.
My friend is the C.O. in the area and he was out checking boats that day. He said one boat farther down river had picked up 4 and a few folks at Gifford Springs were picking up some small fish.
We need a few more days of warm temps and some consistency in the weather.
