Fished Saturday from about 8 to 5 from the 50 MM to the 45 MM. Water was cleaner then we expected and about 57-58 degrees everywhere. Caught my first fish (about 3 pounds) a little after 8 on a buzzbait behind a dock with some trash about 1/2 way back in the cove. Caught my second keeper – a smaller kentucky on a Space Monkey on chunk rock on the point. My brother caught a fat Kentucky around 3 on Wiggle Wart on a main lake point about 9:30. Then we went a while without a keeper. Caught some 13-14″ fish behind docks flipping tubes and beavers. Caught a short on a jerkbait and spinnerbait. Missed three strikes on a buzzbait. We fished all over – outside edges of pockets, inside small pockets, channel banks, mixed rock, chunk rock, main lake points, flipped some docks, flipped and buzzbaited some brush – basically anything where the rock looked good (chunk, mix of softball and pea gravel) or close to a spawning pocket. Might have seen a bed or two but nothing on them. Just about every fish we caught was in 4′ of water or less though – just scattered without any pattern we could put together. Finished our day in Cartwright Springs on a couple of channel banks later in the afternoon. We each caught a keeper on the same cast – one on Space Monkey the other on a square bill. Moved to another channel bank and caught two more keepers on a soft plastic. Ended the day with 16 fish, 7 keepers. Best 5 went about 13 (got to get a new scale – good one quit, the other isn’t real accurate). It was partly cloudy most of the day and had some wind – but we couldn’t tell that either helped or hurt the fishing much. Threw the spinnerbait quite a bit and flipped a jig some without much luck on either. |
