Fishing Report 4/9/10

[solus_vero]

A hard day fishing.

We put in at Larry Gale at 9:30am and targeted Bass and Crappie. We almost got skunked as far as bass go. We threw everything at them, spinners, cranks, plastics, even threw a buzz bait for a while. Only caught a couple legal bass and a bunch of dinks. Never could get a real pattern going.

The crappie were hitting on any color of jig but they were few and far between. We only caught 4 or 5 legal fish and a lot of dinks. We were keeping the legal fish but at the end of the day we only had 3 in the live well so we put them back.

Anyway, the water was basically clear for LOZ. Water temp was 60.5 at 9:30am and 65 at 6:00pm. Wind was steady but light. Sunny all day. The water level is still about 2 feet lower than average. A beautiful day to fish. Everyone we talked to on the docks and other boats said the fish would bite in the morning and evening, but, turn off in the middle of the day. They were right.

I've been doing really well lately. I had a limit of bass plus a limit of crappie today. (I let them all go however). These bright sunny days you need to take advantage of the docks. You also need to fish whatever wind you can get. I hear some guys are having a hard time, I know myself and a few other guys have been tearing them up. The water temps are sky rocketing and the fish are getting close to the spawn. We are blessed on this lake to have lots of docks. Utilize them, figure out on days like this where the fish relate to the docks.
