Subject: Avenue of the Saints Lake, Iowa
Submitted by Iowabasser (ip 167.142.181.234)
Date Fished: 5/7/2005
Water Temperature: 66
Water Clarity: 1 foot I was anxious to get out and fish on Saturday, since I hadn't been out for a couple weeks. Went and fished Avenue of the Saints Lake just off of Highway 218 near Shell Rock. The deeper end of the lake was only 61-62 degrees, but the shallow half was anywhere from 64-66 degrees. My friend and I caught 7 largemouth in all. Three were only around 8 inches, but the other four were all 16-18 inches, and two of them were full of eggs. Very healthy looking fish and very aggressive. The wind was blowing at least 20mph, so it was tough fishing, but well worth it for the fish we caught. We caught all of them on Mann's baby 1-minus crankbaits, tennessee shad and chrome/black back were the colors. We used an irratic retrieve and the fish seemed to take the bait when we would slow or stop it for just a split second and then reel again. All were caught on the shallow end of the lake in about 1-3 feet of water, around little reeds that were sticking up out of the water.
