Pomme Today

[Jbrant]

We put in at Hermitage today about 9:30. Fished till 3:30. Only saw two other boats all day. Water temps were anywhere from 41.7 early to almost 45 (late in the back of a wind blown creek). Fished mainly around the dam. Lake is at normal pool, pretty good water clarity. We had a hard time holding the boat in some spots with the wind gusts.

We caught 7 keepers all on jerkbaits. We threw a wiggle wart and swimbait a little - but stayed with Megabass and McSticks most of the day. Our 5 best went just a little over 14. Two biggest were 3:9 and 3:8. Both of those came late in the day within a hundred feet of one another on a channel bank with some trees, wind, and big rock. One was pretty shallow, the other out in 15' or so. Had a couple hammer the jerkbait, the others we barely even knew they were there. We caught a few in 4'-8' and a couple more in about 12-15. Some on secondary points, some on channel banks. Never caught one on a main lake point. All had a little wind - we stayed out of the strongest wind most of the day.

We talked to one other boat and he had caught 9 keepers - nothing very big he said. Great day to be on the water.

thanks, I was wondering how Pomme has been fishing as of late.
