Louie B, Carters Lake, Spots and Stripers, this week, trips (pic hvy)

[FishNews]

Great week on the lake with me and my guys. The lake level is full and water temps are ranging from 49-52 from lake to river, and clarity is great in the lake and decent in the river. Earlier in the week the river had a heavy stain but since has cleared up for the most part. <br /> <br /> I've focused on Doll Mtn, Wurley and Woodring Creeks this week with most of our fish being caught from 15-30ft on a varitey of lures and patterns this week. We've even had a few fish up shallow on Assassinator Spinnerbaits this week, including the first picture caught by Luis. This was Luis' biggest Spot to date weighing in at 4.6lbs! Great fish amigo :&#39 We had 7 or 8 other nice Spotted Bass that evening on Sb's and Jerkbaits and Luis caught a few of those as well. <br /> <br /> The slowest day of the week was Super Bowl Sunday w/ Cody, Allen, John, and Mark. We worked really hard all day on only boated 10 Spots, no Stripers. Fishing was tough Sunday but thanks guys for a great day on the water and for your patience during a tough day. <br /> <br /> Today was the best day of the week for numbers. Paul, his son Wes, and nephew Ryne and I boated a big number of fish today catching both Spots and Stripers. Paul wanted to treat his nephew Ryne to a fun day because he is about to ship out to an undisclosed location, Ryne is a Marine fresh out of boot camp. Thanks again Paul for the trip and thank you Ryne for your service to our great country! <br /> <br /> LB
