Water temp. west side of the lake was in the low 70’s-- east side -- I didn’t even look at it, my bad.
Wind -- light breeze out of the N when I first got there. Then it switched around to the NE, to E. The wind switched around so many times I’m not really sure which direction it was coming from any more. But it did cause some major water currents in the coves as it switched around, that I did see.
Water clarity 3 to 4 feet.
Water level still pretty low.
Aquatic Vegetation is horrible right now. Most of the grass is dead or in a process of it.
Spent 5 hrs. on the water and put 6 bass in the boat.
Reason for this trip was to experiment and concentrate on the bigger fish.
To begin with, this trip started out with disaster written all over it. Contacted six different people to see if they would like to wet a line. One was on the water, and one was on his way to the lake. Two others had just fished the day before and the other two had things they needed to take care of. So I thought, what the heck, I’ll go solo and I’ll try out some new things on the water. I get to the boat ramp and I start unhooking the boat from the trailer and I hear a air leaking noise. Look down at my trailer tire and it’s half flat. As I’m taking care of this issue, I got this strange idea in my head that maybe the guy up stairs was trying to deliver me a message to me and I should go back home, but I ignored it and went fishing anyways.
I spent 98% of my time in 12 to 18 feet of water throwing a DD-16 up into 8 feet of water on secondary points. I tried several primary points, but couldn’t find any takers, so I went back to fishing secondary points. I also threw a heave C/R for a short period of time, but gave it up. I also threw a little T/R plastic around some timber and caught one fish. It was then when I realized that I had gone back to my old way of fishing this lake, so I put that rod up and moved back out onto the secondary points to continue on with my little escapade. I ended up with a total of six fish in the slot for the day, with the biggest one weighing in around 4lbs. I really don’t feel like I learned anything new, but I gave it an honest effort.
