'In the Boat'

March 20-21, 2026 - Navajo Lake
Water Temp: 51°F
Conditions: Sunny, warm and calm. Air temps hitting 80's
Species caught: Smallmouth Bass, Crappie
Water temperatures touched 51 degrees, and the fish felt it. Crappie limits came easy around dusk. The trick right now is staying patient through the few short lulls and keeping your bait in the zone. The fish are there.
A bass showed up, which was a welcome development. A solid smallmouth came to the boat on a crankbait, with a smaller one coming on a tube. The pike stayed out of the picture entirely, which felt like a minor victory. Spring is starting to show up in the fish's behavior. Good time to be on the water.
I have a complete line of fish hats that dropped this week and the e-commerce site is up. You can now order hats and book trips online by visiting: https://fishandfungi.square.site/
UPDATE 3/24: Nice 3 pound largemouth showed up on a crankbait.
