After Issac

[gramps50]

When it looked like the rain from Issac had stopped I jumped in the truck and headed to a local lake. Just before Issac I caught 4 small ones just before dusk. So today I headed to the same spot and using the same top water popper I made several cast and nothing, water was a little deeper but still looked pretty clear considering the rain. Stayed there for about 45 minutes and decided to move on.

Changed parking areas and took off for the 1/2 mile of so walk to get to the upper lake. Fished all down one side using a buzz bait and also a top water popper. The water was really clear and I could see fish in the lower back finger, including bait fish but not much going on. They weren't liking anything that I was throwing. Wished I had taken some crank baits with me, & I didn't feel like making the trip to the truck to get any so I just continued using the popper trying different retrieves.

Thought about leaving but wanted to try the other side so I walked across the dam and down the otherside to the other finger. In that finger there is a tree in the water and threw around it some with nothing. Across the finger and to the right was what appeared to be a tree/log in the water threw the popper over there and just as I started the retrieve I got a hit but no hookup. So I tossed it over there again and this time when I started the retrieve the popper disappeared so I set the hook. It took off taking out the drag, let it run a little then started reeling it in jumped once but I managed to get it to shore.

Tried a couple more tosses over there but nothing. Got hung up and ended up breaking the line so It was getting to be supper time and if I didn't want t cold dinner I needed to go home so I hiked back to the truck and headed home.

Lost 3 lures and caught one nice fish so I guess all in all it was a decent day.
