First Trip on 2021

 1.4.21

Nancy and I ventured out of the Falls Creek landing this afternoon from 1-4:15
We found a decent bite as we managed to boat 10 keeper bass.  
The water temp south of the Rt. 11 bridge was 61 and north of the bridge it dropped to 59 degrees.  The water continues to be extremely clear. There was a little breeze but the further north ventured the lake was pretty flat.
Scouting and fishing areas we haven’t fished before, we started off a little slow.  We planned on fishing and catching/not catching one and move on.
The first stop was a long cove south of the ramp and we bagged one keeper on the jig rig with a hulastickz in 45 feet of water.
Easing into Cedar Creek and graphing we found a “hole” with trash in the bottom of it.  Caught our biggest of the day there on the jig rig measuring a little over 17” in 50’ of water.  Eased over to a creek bluff and nailed 3 more in the 14” size range.  Again, all on the jig rig.
Headed north above the bridge to a long point as Duke was really pulling water upstream today.
Found a bunch of active fish in 25’ to 35’ of water and they ate drop shots tipped with a Hazedong shad and a  morning dawn roboworm.  These fish were smaller though as they measured in the 12-13” range.  
Pulled off that point and eased into a nearby creek side scanning for brush piles.  Found one and threw a Yamamoto Twin Tail cinnamon pepper hula grub in it and caught a nice 16” largemouth.
At the last stop, we hit a steep rocky bluff and one more spot was caught on the hula grub.
It was a nice day to scout new areas as there was very little boat traffic.
