nathanhooper Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Since my weekly Wednesday trip looked like it was not going to be a pleasant one, I decided to go out yesterday after work. Took my youngest along for the ride - at least he had fun driving the boat. Headed back up Indian creek and was seeing temps right around 50 on the main lake. Water was for sure up, and like always, the park ranger had not gotten around to bringing up the courtesy dock - not very courteous of them....lol. I found my way to the very back of Indian creek where I ran into some others fishing. I imagine looking for whites. But they did not seem to be catching anything. I didn't either, but I played more than fished. The one thing I did notice is that when I got into 16' FOW back in the back, the temps came up to 52. Other than them, I did not see anyone out. One truck at Indian creek, and two at LBN. I fished deeper than I should have in hind sight. I get stuck on one thing, like always, and it takes a lot to break free from it. I did it for the majority of the time last year, hopefully I will figure it out this year. In my mind, I know where I have caught the whites before, so I spend the majority of my time in those spots and at those depths. Meanwhile, its quite possible that I could have been pulling fish in the boat if I had just gone shallower. A friend was fishing closer to the dam and was trolling in 12 FOW. He brought in a small mouth and a walleye. He uses crankbaits. Both were brought in just around dusk I believe. So there it is. Lessons learned. Always nice to be on the water regardless.

Water was high and I was trolling the shore. I had forgot about the long underwater point until I came up on it. I got my lines in before they hung up, but as soon as I got across the point there was a large school of fish on the other side which looked to be chasing bait. I never could get back on them. I really think they were whites from the size of the arches.
nathanhooper Posted March 17, 2015 Author Posted March 17, 2015 How deep do you find them in that area this time of year?
