Pomme Fishing Report

[shockley32]

Made it out to Pomme late last week, sorry for the delay in the report. The fishing wasn't as fast and furious and I expected, however did do pretty good. Put in at Hermitage State Park and stayed within a mile or two. Unfortunately lost my bearings in the boat trailer just about the time I got to the lake but hey I was already at the lake might as well fish a couple of hours!!!!

The lake was 4-5' high, even higher now! The water was pretty clear you could see bottom in 6-7 feet. Water temp was 39 degrees.

Had 10 crappie in the livewell in two hours, should have had a limit but didn't get them in the boat. It can be real aggrivating when you get the fish to the top of the water and then loose them, still a great day to be out. It had been a while since I had been out so I missed a ton of bites.

Had about half dozen bass, a couple nice keepers.

Fished brush in 20-25 feet of water and all fish were down in the brush.

All fish were caught on Shimmer Stix's, this is a new bait a friend of mine is making and it is AWESOME!!!! He's getting ready to market them soon. I fished the 2.5" version, however he will have a great 6" version for bass sometime this spring. As we were testing the 6" version three weeks ago a friend caught a 8.25 pound largemouth!!! It was a pig. When he gets them ready to market I'll let you know.

Have a great one!

Thanks for the report! Sounds like the water is still pretty cold.
