Bsl-Oakland 3-29-12 Fishing Report (Sort Of)

[Ham]

Basically, I can't catch fish anymore.

Water temp main lake was 65 ish and up to 70 plus up the creeks. Water was stained up the creeks, but clearing and not bad in the main lake areas.

I fished a pretty full day in a variety of locations and never found any active fish. Backs of the creeks nada.

1/2 way back. Nope. Some of the mid lake coves dragging a grub for smallies. Zero.

I did see some decent size cruisers and saw one fish actively defending a bed. I left him alone.

Maybe the changing water levels and the early spring has the fish in transition, but I haven't figured it out.

NOTE: Oakland is a terrible ramp > 7 foot high. I won't use it again at this level. Launch at your own risk.

The courtesy dock is there, but is useless. It is poorly positioned. It might as well be up on the hill.

Don't feel too bad. I've been skunked a few times. I hope to get down there on Easter weekend and give it a try. This weather was been amazing. I figure it's gonna take a turn for the worst, just about the time I get there:)
