Fellows 3/30/18

[Seth Clarkson]

A buddy and I hit fellows and fished from around 8 to 1 or so on Friday. Didn't have  a single bite. Water was dirtier than I expected without having any real streams running into the lake that I'm aware of. Tried a coleslaw spinnerbait, a drew's craw colored trd hawg, a 1/2 oz black and blue mop jig, a brown finesse jig, a spoon, and some brightly colored crankbaits but no takers. I'm sure it had a lot to do with all the rain and the 30 degree temp drop from the day before, but I still really haven't figured the lake out. Found some fish in the main channel at the south end of the lake suspended in the morning in about 10 to 15 feet but couldn't get a bite. Came back later once it had warmed up and thought I might find them on the shallow flat, but never found them again. 

 

Anybody else been out there recently?

I was out there as well on friday fished from 9 to about 3. Only had 2 bites. I went to back of coves on the south side of the lake and tried by the dock on the west side. With no luck at all. I think the fish all moved deep. I'm going to try again later this month once the water warms up some more.

What bites were they, bass? Also what did you even get them on, because I feel like I tried everything but small grubs and other smaller baits like that.

One was a bass bit. I was throwing a saw crawl Texas rigged and was going slow. Had a bite on a chatter bait. The other was on a minnow crappie fishing. The two bass bites came in like 14ft of water

Each main arm of the lake has a stream running into it. The south arm has a small creek that I don't know the name of, but it can push a lot of water in if we get substantial rain. The north arm of the lake has the Little Sac River coming in on the eastern end which almost always has some amount of flow to it. Those two streams can really muddy up the water in that lake at times, although most of the time the lake is pretty clear. The outflow of the lake is the Little Sac River. Figuring out the fish in that lake can prove challenging.

Pretty sure that is Harper Creek. It gets a lot of runoff from the highway.
