Kidflex Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 Finally got to get out on the water for a few hours. Was hoping the fish were still stacked deep but the stretch of warm weather has them scattered around. Was tough today with only 2 fish for me (5lb and 3-1/2lb). Both were caught in 30ft on seiberts 3/4 football jigs and rage lobster in falcon craw. This lake has a very large population of big bass. No foreign boats only rentals....Fishing out of a John boat with paddles only is a pain in the rear but an anchor helps. My triton is getting jealous of the time I'm spending on a tin boat, lol. 14 Quote

Super User Bankbeater Posted January 16, 2017 Super User Posted January 16, 2017 Nice bass, good job! Quote
Turkey sandwich Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Nice! I'm jealous - t- shirt weather is long gone up here in the north. Most of what I fish for bass is frozen up or just dangerous in a kayak at this point. With any luck, I'll get a weekend to get to central PA the for Browns and rainbows. Quote

I also fish a lake that does not allow foreign boats but electric motors are allowed .I also rigged up a portable depth finder by mounting it on a gutted out old trolling motor . Does this place allow elec motors ? Vertical jigging in thirty foot off water sounds like fun . Quote

Does this place allow elec motors ? Vertical jigging in thirty foot off water sounds like fun . No trolling motors allowed. They don't want any foreign grass. They have some kayaks, canoes and johnboats. The state cut funding couple years ago and took the trolling motors off and cut power to the marina. Not vertical jigging but dragging football jigs in 30-40 ft is fun. I thought about getting a cheap down scan and making a portable unit to find the sweet spots. I have a decent idea and pretty consistent with catching em deep. 255 acres is the size of the lake with a 50ft max depth Quote
