Hello Grand Lakers!
|
|
Last year at this time a few of us were
talking about how it seemed the whites were hard to find. We even had the
discussion that perhaps something had killed off a lot of them. But... how
wrong we were!
I fished every day this past week and we
limited-out really quickly on each trip. We fished the Elk River all the
way down to Duck Creek and found them each time. The mid-lake area around
Sailboat Bridge was too muddy for a few days but I checked the area Sunday
and found huge schools of whites in five places within a couple of hours.
They seemed to be everywhere! They aren't
surfacing much but we can see the schools on our Lowrance fish finders.
Swimming a grub is the best bait for us.
We caught black bass great in the first of
the week. Last Monday and Tuesday we had over 30 keepers both days but I
didn't do much bass fishing later in the week and when we did we didn't do
quite as well. It has been hard for us to catch one over 4 pounds but we
are catching a lot of 3 pounders.
I've been hearing a few reports of crappie
being caught on boat docks and around the bridges, especially Honey Creek
Bridge, but the fish have been small. Jerry Kropff fished Honey Creek
Bridge the other day and caught 40, but no keepers. I fished on the main
lake a couple of hours Sunday afternoon and caught a few keeper crappie. I
went out early Monday morning and caught a mess. You should really do well
early. We can always limit out on whites if the crappie don't bite.
The lake is really strange as to how it is
clearing after the high waters. It seems to be more stained in areas you
would think would be clearing and clearer in areas which should be
muddier. |

See you on the lake! |

Hi folks! |
|
Well, we spent the week at the marina
again this week. The catfish were biting really slowly during the week.
The jug liners I spoke with were pulling in their jugs about half full and
we were only catching one or two each evening.
Things picked up for the weekend. Kelly
Brewster brought in 8 to 12 pound blues this past weekend and Jeff Graham
had decent luck as well.
We took the boys out and Kevin (8 years
old) caught a couple around three pounds. Marty and I each caught a
couple, although nothing over three pounds. We came in to the shore and
had much better luck there and from docks. The blues are biting slowly but
the channel cat in close around the docks are really biting on cut
leeches.
Kevin caught 6 nice channel cats ranging
from 2 to 6 pounds fishing from the docks. I was fishing from the bank and
caught an 8 pound channel. Kevin and my daughter Kristen had quite a catch
basket full of channel cats by 11:30pm Saturday night. We got up at 7am to
clean the fish and someone had taken all of our fish. My kids were so
disappointed!
I think I may have a correction for last
weeks report! I submitted a picture of John Stanzel with a nice stringer
of catfish he caught in Bernice fishing from the docks. This weekend I met
his brother, Vance, who claims he caught those fish. John didn't dispute,
so, Vance - it was nice to meet you this weekend! John and Vance and their
families had another nice batch of catfish this weekend. We hope to see
them at the marina again next weekend!
We're hoping to get out and try a little
spoonbill snagging again this week!
Until next week -
