On the water: 8am
Off the water: 1pm
Water temp: 53 degrees in the morning
Water visibility: 6ft
It was cloudy and windy all morning which made for nice fishing!
I metered a lot of suspended fish in the upper half of the water column. Lots of marks on the fishfinder between 10-15 ft. The two setups I used today were a split shot rig with a berkley mouse tail and on the other rod I had an inflated half-crawler also on a split shot rig. I kicked from the launch ramp to trout island and that's where I got my first fish on the mouse tail. A nice little cookie cutter trout.
Then I proceeded towards the west shore and that's where I spent most of the day. Near the yellow buoy is where I caught most of my fish. It's in front of the 3rd point on the west shore. It was a very consistent bite all morning and mid-day. All but two of my fish were on the pink head/white body mouse tail. The other two were on the inflated half-crawler. When I was heading in to the launch ramp to call it a day I tied on a crankbait to try throwing it in the shallow water near the launch ramp. I managed to nail 3 on the crankbait! The last one jumped in the air and came unbuttoned but whatever. I say that fish counts too :Big Grin:
here's the setup i used for the mouse tail rod: 2lb test, #5 split shot 2ft above a #10 owner mosquito hook with a pink head/white body berkley mouse tail
