Date Fished: 12/20/2006
Water Temperature: 49
Water Clarity: 2-3 feet The Jack (sauger) and crappie have been biting pretty strong for some time now, so I have been fishing for them. But, last Thursday I got out about 11:00 and fished until 3:30. The fog was terrible so I couldn’t go anywhere, I just put the trolling motor down and start fishing. We caught two fish and lost/missed 4 others on Excalibur Xt3 Twitch bait and the Xr50 Rattle bait fish in 4-5ft of water around scattered grass.
Monday I fished with a gentleman from Texas. We tried Booyah spinnerbaits, Cordell Spots, and Excalibur jerbaits in many different areas. For the day we managed to catch 5 fish with 4 of them being keepers in the 2-3 pound range and had 3 other missed strikes. All our fish came on the break lines were grass and deep water meet. Water temps are 49-51 degrees, but the grass hasn’t fallen to the bottom yet. We witnessed lots of grass a foot or so under the surface in 8 ft. of water. Once the grass falls to the bottom the bite will improve. Merry Christmas!
