11/4/13 Fishing Report

[Ham]

Launched at Diamond City. Cloudy , rainy, with a 10 to 15 mph south wind.

Water temp was around 62'. Water clarity was pretty nice. Some stain when we fished wind blown banks, but pretty darn clear in main lake .

Caught fish on SB, crankbait , jerk bait, top water, and jigs.

Jig was the best option, but they sure were hitting funny. Very frustrating.

We didn't find much up the creeks.

We finished with 23 bass. SMB, spots, and LMB.

Thanks for the report. I am hoping to get out there Thursday and Friday. I agree, they are biting funny. I was out last week....they would pick up the bait and then turn it loose. It is frustrating. At least they are doing something.

SO many bites where you swing and miss. I was mad at myself for the first couple of hours, but then I got mad at the fish instead.

I tried going with a smaller jig ; it caught fish also, but no real improvement and the wind got up more. . I tried going with a Hula grub, but it didn't get bit. We used a variety of colors and the fish reacted to all of them the same. Picking up the jig and dropping it. Or hitting it on the drop without ever having it in their mouth.
