Greers Ferry Lake Fishing Report 04/12/08

[Cody Smith]

4/12/08 Greers Ferry Fishing Report: Saturday was an extremely Chilli and Blustery Day to say the least, not to mention our Lake levels had come up 5 feet in a 36 hour period from our recent rains. Never the less, the fish did cooperate with patience and methodical fishing. Water Temps ranged from 50 degrees to 57 degrees between different location's and was stained with some areas of flushing out and just slightly off color water. Friend and Client, Lance Curtright, Memphis Tn. and myself hit the water early Saturday morning. The white bite I had going started out pretty fast and shut off just the same. However, we did manage just over 20 white's and hybrids over a 3 hour period. We did best on 3" Action Bait Grubs with Chartreuse and Purple colors being best. With the wind howling and the day not warming so swiftly we decided to switch gears and do our best to locate some kentuckies. We located them on windy flooded shorelines and steep drops, off of points in 15 - 30 feet of water aggresively feeding on bait fish. Medium running cranks and x-wraps scored some nice ones. We ended up catching some nice smallies and largemouths as well. I guess what I'm trying to say is there is still Great fishing to be had on those post front days but you definately have to change strategies to put some fish in the box.
