left the go pro at the shop on saturday so no video this time. here's a quick little run down on my day sunday.
bite was extremely good. fish bit from the time i showed up til the wind blew in around 4:30 / 5:00
good texas rig bite from 25' -30' on secondary points and walls leading into coves. find the warmest water and you'll find the algae. find the algae and i found the fish. as stated in previous reports, match colors to bottom composition. if the bottom is green blend in. if the bottom is dead and decaying blend in. pretty simple. fish wanted a parallel to uphill retrieve depending on the shoreline i fished. didnt find much on the downhill although i did catch fish working it. fish from as small as a pound to fish just over 5.
the dropshot bite was there but the size wasnt. spent some time on different areas switching colors and definitely found fish; just not the right size. most of the active biting fish were deeper than 25'. the shallow fish were super dinks but the size increased as i went deeper. nothing over 4 pounds.
senko bite.... well it was a typical senko bite for this time of year....same colors, same areas, same pause and same sized fish.
spent a little time working the C rig. got some fish on the rig in and around 30' on ridgelines on various locations around the lake. the bite was pretty good and found some nicer fish but i had a hard time really dialing it. variations of green pumpkin caught some fish.
line size is not an issue nor is weight size however i would use common sense as to what size and weight to fish. as the weather warms the bite will get even better. its definitely a good time to get out guys as the fish are definitely chewing. find some of your favorite areas and pick some of your favorite colors and you should do fine.
good luck.
