Trip Summary
Trip Summary
As March rolls in, Lake Sutton offers a mix of opportunities for anglers as the water temperatures begin to rise and fish become more active. Here's a breakdown of what you can expect this month:
Largemouth Bass: Bass fishing is picking up as the fish start moving toward shallower areas in preparation for the spawn. Look for them around submerged structures, stumps, logs, and grassy areas. Soft plastics, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits are effective lures this time of year. Early mornings and late afternoons tend to be the most productive times.
Water Conditions: Water temperatures are gradually rising, typically ranging from low 60s to 70(°F) in March. Clarity is 12+ feet of visibility, but windy days can affect water clarity. Be sure to check local conditions before heading out.
Tips for Success:
• Focus on areas with structure and cover, as fish are starting to move into shallower waters.
• Adjust your tactics based on water temperature and weather conditions.
• Be mindful of local regulations and ensure you have the proper licenses.
Overall, March is a great time to get out on Lake Sutton and enjoy the improving fishing conditions. Whether you're targeting bass, crappie, or catfish, there's plenty of action to be had. Tight lines!
