Date Fished: 3/8/2006
Water Temperature: 52
Water Clarity: 0 Fished the cold water leg of Newton Tuesday. Found a few fish on the rip-rap using small worms and tubes. Moved to some points finding better fish in 3-6 ft of water. Anything white or white pepper(senkos, tubes,wacky worm) slow dragged seem to work best. Best fish was 6.3 with four at the 18" mark and several smaller.
Went back yesterday between storms hoping the pattern would hold but knowing the weather change would make a differance. Buddy hooked up a 5.3 on third cast and smaller one a couple cast later. The bite on white then died. Finally changed to smaller dark colored plastics in 6 to 8 ft and got a decent bite going by very slow dragging the bait. They would not hit a fast moving bait. Bites were very light.
Thunder and lightning chased us off but we still ended the day with 12 fish, four in the 18" range or bigger. All the bigger fish are full of eggs and healthy.
