Water Temp: 48
Lake Level: 1072.7 (basically full pool, today that is)
I've been out the past few days as previously reported. This report is for Thurs/Friday.
After Wednesday evening I decided to spend my Thursday trip looking for deep fish. I don't like fishing blind while on a trip but Rick and Angela Graham are regulars w/ me and are just as much in to the "hunt" as I am so they are always cool to try something different in hopes of the ultimate reward. It took us a while on Thursday but we managed to find a couple of good deep schools and put some really nice fish in the boat. Angela boated her biggest spot ever on Thursday a healthy 5lb spot, the fish was 55ft deep over an 80ft bottom. She must be living right because during their last trip with me 2 weeks ago Angela boated a 7lb 1oz Largemouth which was also a personal best for her. We ended the day boating around a dozen spots but quality was awesome. This was Rick and Angela's 12th trip with me in 2010, I just want to say THANKS again you two. Thanks for your patience yesterday too
On a side note from Thursday, my tournament partner Bill Payne spent a half day on the water and caught 6 spots, mid depth 15-20ft on fish heads and grubs he also had a few big spots including a 5lb+
I had a cancelation for today so I decided to fish my first tournament since the 1st week of October. Chris H and I started really slow not filling a limit till lunch but ended up culling all of our fish by 3pm. We finished 2nd w/ 14.57lbs, Willie Fortner and partner won w/ 15something.
Chris and I fished water from 5ft-80ft w/ everything that we could get down to em. We caught over 20 keepers for the day mostly on Red Rooster drop shot flys, flutter spoons, and fish heads. We tried the float n fly for the first couple of hours w/ no takers. I'm afraid that bite is on a runaway train headed down hill. Maybe Robbie can make a magic fly that produces regardless of how deep the fish are.
Here's a few pics, the 2nd photo is her 5lbr no justice it was a big fish, the first 3 are all different fish. The last pic is of Chris and I today. I have some unbelievable sonar snapshots from a school or two today, I'll add em later. Happy New Years.
