Tough Day Today on the Rock!!!!

[Nitro 750]

We finally got to get on the water today, first time this year.  We have been so busy!!!  Did not get on the water till 11:30, launched at Long Creek, several other rigs in the parking lot.  Trying to find some crappie, went to our usual spots and fished with tube jigs in different colors.  Fished  the bank out to about 20 foot of water and jigged a lot of trees, could not buy a bite.  Clear skies and light wind made it tough.  Fished for crappie for about 4 hours and nothing to show for it. 

Decided to do some bass fishing, first spot we tried had a couple of light hits.  Moved to the mouth of a larger cove and started to get bit about a 1/3rd of the way back into the cove.  Wife was throwing  a PB&J Ned, and I was throwing a Green Pumpkin fish doctor on a split shot rig.  Most bites came in about 15 to 20 foot.  We probably had 10 or more fish come unbutton close to the boat, they were hitting really light and I think they were just grabbing the tail and hanging on to it till they got close to the boat.  Ended up with 4 or 5, no keepers but did have a nice one that came off at the boat.  We also threw A-Rig, Wiggle Wart and a Jig, no love on any of them.  Water temp was 57.5 when we started and 58.7 when we ended.  It was a tough day for us, but it was so great to get out on the lake!!!!  No pics, did not have anything that was picture worthy!!!!

Thanks for the report, Nitro, and REALLY glad you got to get out. You faithfully thank everyone else for their reports, so thanks again to you, buddy.

Donna and I found it pretty tough today, too. Light bites from the bass and no crappie action whatsoever.

Better days ahead. Very soon.

Thanks for the report Nitro, it was a tough bite for sure, as Champ says though, it will get better.

Thanks for the report, It appears if there is a good time to be under the weather as I am it is now or I would be down experiencing the same issues. Thanks again.

Sorry to hear you are not at top speed, my friend. Hope it's nothing serious.

Whatever it is has a lot of us down in the dumps up in this neck of the woods,
