Fishing was ok yesterday. I have had more luck fishing the cold water side (as well as other fisherman I talked to) using crankbaits in the 6-8 foot depth, espically fishing main lake points. I had a Hawg hooked on about my 5th cast, I would guess in the 7-8 pound range but it came unhooked which is odd with a crankbait, so I inspected my bait and she either straighted the O ring which holds the hook onto the bait, or it broke. Talk about being down after I seen that. You will also catch white bass in the 2-4 pound range throwing these smaller crankbaits. I did catch a few fish on a watermelon red Biosalt worm, around fallen trees. Anything in the green color reguardless of lure will catch fish on this lake, I don't know what it is but they love green. In all I boated about 15 bass with the biggest (not counting the escapee) was 4.2 (worm). It will be about 10 days or so before I am able to get back there, but when I do I will post. I am going to make it a habit to post my trips and even what I hear at the ramp, so check back. Any questions feel free to email me Dennis.Griffin@parsons.com Any body who has weekdays off and is tired of fishing alone like myself feel free to write, maybe we could "hook" up and fish together. Until next time...Fear No Fish!
