how is the bite at eldo? Thinking about heading out there saturday
Been slow as of late on the bass, not sure on other species.
oh okay...guess it hasnt heated up yet for eldo...anyone know about the bluegills?
I went last week and there was an easy 20 bass fishermen.. I just walked around the lake and went home.. The water is red on the back but I did see some bass get taken out and I seen two dead ones too.. Good luck if you go
I've been working on El Dorado for the past few weeks every couple days.
I have not seen any bedding fish YET. Although others have stated they have.
Catch rate is low... hit and miss. I've had to go threw an entire arsenal of techniques and baits before I've got one to hit and each and every day has been different.
whats with the red water? which lake?
I go a couple of times a week ... storms and runoff have stained the lakes badly. Only success I've seen has been with fire-tiger raps, and noisy crankbaits due to the stained water. Have seen no fish on the usual beds, they may be deeper, or confused with the weather. Most weekdays I've seen a dozen or more guys fishing the back two lakes pretty thoroughly. The only action that has been predictable is a couple of days after a trout plant, the larger bass are more active, but not easily caught. Rumors of a fish die-off last summer due to no aeration may be more fact than fiction ... we'll know soon if they don't bed in the usual places.
actually the crappie or bluegill (whichever one is in their) are pushed up right along the shore behind the sticks to the left of the ranger station(behind the lil building between the 2nd and 3rd lake by the bridge). Saw some little kids literally just pulling em out with one of those little ice fishing looking poles. (i seen em pull like literally 20 of em in 10 mins)
