2018 Top 5 Update

Our 2017 winner provides us with a welcome batch of bass as he kicks year number five of the Top 5 project into gear. January nearly slipped by in winter’s grip but his trip to warmer waters in the form of a power plant lake proved to be a winner. And we’re off…

Angler Comments: The lake level was about 2 to 3 feet below normal pool and the water temp was in the low to mid 50’s. There were lots of shad flipping on the surface. Weather wise it was sunny with temps in the high 40’s but the blowing wind made it chilly.
Top 5 Weight: 13-5 (3-15, 2-7, 2-6, 2-6, 2-3)

Not only do we have some fish but Mark continues to post YouTube videos of his day on the water with some cool new features that add to the viewing experience. Really neat stuff and I highly recommend checking it out at the link below:

Exciting to be back in business already and if anyone out there happens onto some more catches, send them my way at troy@troyjacksonoutdoors.com.

Good luck and talk to you later. Troy
