Campbell Point Area

[dwiebenga]

Hey all,

I have enjoyed reading all the posts this year, and I am getting ready to finally escape to come down. My family live two coves east of Bassin Hallow. I was wondering how I should approach this part of the lake this time of year. The long range forcast says Highs in the 60s and Lows around 50.

What type of strategy should I use? I struggled last fall, and I would like to improve my chances this year. I read Bill's "Cedar" post and I can think of some areas to try for that.

Any help would be much appriciated.

Dave,

If you're looking for more action than bigguns, there's a pretty good dock bite going on. Shaky head worms and finesse (Eakins-type) jigs are working really well. Concentrate on the portions of the docks that are in 12-25 feet of water and try to pitch your jig or worm as far back in the slips as you can. Green pumpkin candy is my favorite color but anything similar will work. Also, keep an eye on your graph out on the ends of the docks and have a drop-shot rig ready to drop to any schools of fish you might see. You can also drag a football jig around the dock ends and catch some better fish. Have fun!

Hey Chamnp, are these fish supsended or on bottom in the slips? Thanks for answering.

[Champ188]

Fishrman,

The answer is (d) all of the above. Seriously, there are suspended and bottom fish both around the docks although seems like the better ones are on the bottom.

What type of game plan would be best with the showers/rain mid-week and clearing skys throughout the weekend. Temps seem to be holding steady? I am getting very excited for the weekend. Have not been down in a year.

Well, 24 hours from now, I will be on the water finally.

Just wanted to see if anyone had been in this area this week, and good provide a little advice.

How would you recommend dealing with the yo-yoing temperatures this week? Have the bass started moving back into the creeks and coves or still on the main lake points?

Any help would be great.

I will be in a Lowe 165 Stinger...so don't run me over and please say HI!

Take care and see you tomorrow

Dave
