Shawn and I hit the water yesterday with my friend and neighbor Jim Powell. I usually try to prefish a lake before we shoot so I don’t get any bad surprises but we decided to go in cold and shoot it like it happens.
We started out in front of a small creek and got one and missed a couple more. I didn’t want to take the Triton further up the lake because of all the rocks so we went back down by the ramp to a big flat with a mix of grass and rock with about six feet of water on it. Jim was throwing a Blue Fox in line spinner on a 7′ Medium Cumara rod with a 2500 Stradic spooled with 15lb Power Pro. I was throwing a Jackall SK Pop Grande on a Crucial 6’6″ med rod with a 2500 Stradic spooled with 8 lb mono.
We got quite a few fish on the flat and Jim picked up the biggest one of the day at over 3 lbs.
We worked the flat for over an hour and then moved in to the nearby creek and gave that a shot but all it produced were a few small bass and some Pickerel. Time to move along.
Our next stop was a steep bank that dropped very quickly into 30 + feet but again it was mostly fish under two pounds. We were getting these on tubes and a drop shot senko. We did mark some huge schools of bait out in 45 feet of water with a few bigger fish mixed in but I really don’t like to pull Bass up from those depths.
Our last stop was a long deep underwater point and we hooked a few fish really quickly but it was time to go. I really would like to spend three or four days in there looking around. It is a beautiful lake
