Bass Report 10/12

[Lifes2Short]

Put back in at Roark Bluff first thing yesterday morning and ran back up the creek and into the timber to see if the fish were still there from last week, they were there but not as many. The lake was up another foot and I believe the fish were tucked back even further into the buck brush, in areas that we couldn't get to. The shad were not present like last week and the wind was not out of the north like last week. We ended up catching roughly 20 and would have had a limit that would have weighed 12 or 13 pounds. Came out of the river mid afternoon and caught a few whites on the flats and then found a pocket that had some grass in it and caught another couple of keepers. Spinnerbaits and jigs with an occasional shakey head fish were the baits of choice. I found it also interesting that the water had not clouded up at all after all the rain?? Cloudy all day, misty, 64 degree water, S.E. breeze of 10. Dad is in town this next week, anybody catching any crappie and want to share info? Tight Lines!

Headed out to Stockton this weekend. Haven't been on the lake in over a month so fishing semi-blind. Planning on putting in at Cedar Ridge and fishing some coves near there and maze creek. I love wiggle warts so will probably throw those predominantly with the occasional shakey head and topwater. Thinking anywhere in the water column between 6'-12' is what my plan was unless someone thinks otherwise. Will report on how the day went and conditions of the lake. God Bless
