Fishing Notes |

It is always an honor for me to fish with the best bass fisherman on LOZ, Marcus Sykora. As I mentioned in previous reports, he is a fishing machine. It is no secret that the pattern for big fish right now is large boulder and chunk rock banks. As the water level is still high, it is sometimes difficult to visually see these rocks, however, if you follow a bank from bluff ledges into a cove or see one rock sitting up in the water, you can be sure that that bank is what you are looking for. Our best bite today came very early on a channel bank with the big rocks in the lower Glaize, 3 nice keeper in about 30 minutes on one bank. The multiple fish bite in one location is something that has happened often this week. Therefore, if you are on a bank that you are catching fish, keep fishing it, or leave it and come back to it. Wind and shade seem to be a key as well, slight chop on the water worked great. We also had some good bites and blow-ups on dock cables, again as the water is high, many dock cables are slightly submerged, be sure to work your baits over these cables. Concrete pillars behind docks or on open banks produced a good bite today as well. The spinner and buzz bait caught the fish today, but other top water baits like the spook should also produce a big bite. Also, dropping a jig on those support concrete pillars should also catch those fish holding on that type of cover. |
