  Subject: Bluestone Lake, West Virginia

Submitted by Razor24 (ip 129.71.229.21)

Date Fished: 7/29/2001
Water Temperature: 76
Water Clarity: 1 foot

Fished Bluestone from 8am to 12:30pm. Braved the rain (had a couple of hard showers) and had a good few hours on the water. Hooked into a real good fish on 2nd cast into 13ft of water with deep diving crank. Tried to horse it around peeling drag and all, that just pulled the hooks out of its mouth. I never saw the fish, but if it was a bass it was huge, I guess it could have been a catfish, because I was bouncing the hell out of the bottom. Lost a nice smallie about 5 feet from the boat getting ready to move it in. That one was the heart breaker.

All told, I hooked into 9 bass, of which I caught 5 (4 largemouth and 1 smallie), and had several follows. Of those fish, 2 were barely keepers. All came on crankbaits from a variety of depths. All fish caught were right on cover shallow and deep. This was the first time all year I really concentrated on fishing cover that the depthfinder showed fish on. Tried several other types of lures, but fish really seemed to want the crank.

The lake wasn't very muddy on the New River side, I would say it was cloudy with visibility somewhere around 1 to 2 feet. Water level DROPPED from 6 inches to a foot in the few hours I was there. We've had a lot of rain, and it seems when the water dropped, so did the fish.

It was a good day to be on the water, rain poncho and all. As long as it doesn't lightening, I'm there!
