Super User cart7t Posted April 24, 2007 Super User Posted April 24, 2007 Great. : There'll be 50 boats on that one jetty next weekend, all throwing jigs. ;D Way to go Mike. Funny thing is, I never once thought about fishing those Saturday, I had it set in my mind those fish would be up very shallow in the coves or shallow banks around the wood. I was basically going to toss Sluggo's and spinnerbaits all day. So much for that strategy. Quote
Needemp Posted April 24, 2007 Posted April 24, 2007 Cart7, I was telling Dan (DanielMyBrother) at the tournament that I eliminated the coves and anything that had a mud bottom because how old the lake was. That is a lot of silt for those bass to bed in. Not that they won't bed there, but it was going to be harder to determine where they were going to be. I knew the rocks would be a lot easier to concentrate on. I just positioned my boat against the wind and methodically and thoroughly worked those 5 piers to death. There was one stump that I got a barely keeper off of and another short, and it was in the mud. But they didn't look like spawning fish. Quote
Super User cart7t Posted April 24, 2007 Super User Posted April 24, 2007 I went up into the very upper end a little later and was pretty shocked to see just how much that upper end had silted in. I remember walking the bank up above that upper public use area when I was a teen and the water was typically 3 - 5' deep all along the western bank above the use area. When I went up there Saturday I went from that shore almost all the way over to the other bank and it was nothing but one big 2 foot deep flat. I wouldn't be surprised if all that timber that fell into the water is buried in mud. I did find a couple more deep water spots worth exploring on another day. Quote
