After Last Week's Warm Temps, Snowstorm, Flood They Are Still Trying To Hit The Bank

2/12

Fished solo today from 10:30 AM to 3:30 PM.  Put in at High Falls ramp and fished from the skimmer wall to the 130 bridge.  The water has some color to it, don’t know what else to call it, but very fishable.

Due to the cloudy water I concentrated on shallow fishing.  The water temp was in the 59 degree range.  There was a slight breeze but later it slicked off.

A good shallow water bite is out there.  And I caught them on a variety of baits.  I only caught one fish in water deeper than 10’.  Lobbing a texas rigged dropshot with a zoom trick worm worked well around docks in shallow pockets.  I caught five this way and 2 on consecutive casts to the same dock. They were nice fish with the smallest being 15 1/2” up to 18”.

In between pockets I threw a Bill Norman deep little N in chartreuse blue  on rocks and had a really nice Largemouth in the 4 lb. category get off as I tried to net it.

I also caught a 16” spot on a tokyo rig with a Zoom Z Craw Jr. in some planted brush in a shallow pocket.

Hit the rip rap at the 130 bridge to finish the day and caught a small keeper spot on the crankbait and another 15 1/2” spot on a Keitech swimbait.  

Couldn’t get bit on a jerkbait.

So 8 fish got in the boat and missed a few others.  The quality is really picking up.
