Lisa and I got out for a while yesterday from 1pm till 5pm and today from 10am till 2pm. Water surface temps in Bald Ridge creek varied from 50-53. The creek is blown out from the back to the marina. The water is as murkey as my morning coffee with heavy cream. We decided to fish outside the mud line. Yesterday we caught fish very shallow 5-10 feet of water around rocks, blow downs and points during the heat of the day. We were beating the banks with some little crappie rigs with 1/16 ounce jig heads with a few cool looking Bobby Garland crappie plastics in a chartreuse color. The bass loved them and we ended up with 9 bass from small buck bass to a couple of respectable 2-3lbers. Everything we caught was on crappie rods with 4lb test. It was a blast with the little ultra lights and the feisty bass.
Today we decided to troll some deep diving crank baits on some heavier gear (6lb test) and targeted depths of 20-30 feet clipping points. We wound up with 6 bass and 1 striper today. We didn't take any pictures yesterday but we took a few pictures today. Great day to be on the lake. Here's a couple pics from today.
