Hey All,
Not much to report. Worked for trout on the fly this past weekend at the west end. Picked up one on the powerbait under a bobber - DEEEEEEEP - 35' to 40' down. Had two really strong trout hits on the fly early Sunday and thought it would be on, but nothing the rest of the morning.
The only thing I could pick-up were a dozen or so crappie (all on the fly) - some nice, big ones, but not what I was looking for.
Ran into jmytuna on his new pontoon boat w/ fam/friends - they picked up a stocker trout under a bobber and then moved on after a couple hours.
Prior Saturday saw some really nice trout action just off Windy Point by some shore fishers and some anchored boaters who know the hot spots. Floating PB up from the bottom and waiting - but it was paying off for them.
Next time I'm out I'll probably try hunting bass again. Not sure where's best to search and would enjoy some suggestions - post or PM. Summer's heating up but the fish seem to be cooling down.
jmytuna suggested working docks and I may see how that goes. Lots to choose from :Wink: so not sure where I'll focus since I'll be in the tube and can't cover too much area easily.
Maybe I'll try shooting fish in a barrel at Jenks just to remind myself what a head-shake feels like :Big Grin:
Cheers,
Eric
