“Big Sam” is looking good, 1 ft low going into the summer months. We have been getting rain showers this week bringing the lake up just a little.
The Hydria is spotty and hard to find but has been coming back slowly and will be holding some fish. On the other hand the milfoil and pepper grass have been coming on strong with some out in 8 to 12 ft of water.
The shallow bite has been slow with a few fish moving on points around the pads early and late. Stanley Ribbits and Buzz Baits have been the best to find the active fish and cover a lot of water. The Stanley Spinner baits have also been picking up some nice fish on the points and ledges. The crankbait’s have been getting a few fish on creeks channels and ledges in 6 to 13 ft. Colors change and shad and bluegill are two of the colors we’ve been using. The deep bite has been13 to 27 ft with the Carolina rig, Texas rig and Stanley Football Jig. They’ve been the best baits out there and the bite has been super light. Now hold on to your seat, we caught a few fish on spoons in 30 to 35 ft off deep ledges and river channels.
This is where the New Lowrance 10 HDS Gen 2 and the New Structure Scan HD has been coming into play picking up the structure and bait fish in the areas. This is almost like having a camera to look for fish and structure. I am looking for small structure that holds one big fish not monster piles that hold a lot of small fish.
Crappie; The Crappie have started to set up on some of the brush piles. The bite has been light and you have got to really get the feel of them. There have been a lot of hand size Bluegills hanging out over the brush piles. You’ve got to work your bait past them to get to the Crappie. The folks that catch on and get the bait past the Bluegill have been catching lots of fish. The group that catches the most legal, keeper size, Crappie wins a free trip the next year. Don’t wait too long to get your trip booked. The new pontoon has plenty of room for everyone with shade and a Pot-O-Potty.
Summer Fun
Bluegill ; Bluegill and Kids go hand in hand. You and your kids can have a lot fun catching them right now. If you’re looking for something to do with the kids this summer get them out on the lake, have some fun and make memories that last a lifetime.
God Bless
