Fishing Report end of December
Hope everyone had a great Christmas holiday, I know my family and I did. The bite has been good. A variety of patterns are working right now both deep and shallow. I've had some great trips over the past 2 weeks and look forward to 2013 and hopefully meeting many new clients! Here's a quick rundown on patterns and a few pics
Water temps as of 12/29: 53
Lake Level: Full from our recent rains
Clarity: great 8ft+
I'm focusing on main-lake channel swings w/ Spro Jerkbaits, Davis Underspins, and Float n' Flys in Red Rooster Carters Special and Threadfin Shad using 10-12ft leaders. Here's a great pic of two big Spots my client and I doubled simultaneously using the Underspin and Jerkbait last week.
I've also had success fishing out deep in the afternoon with football jigs, drop shots, and jigging spoons fishing depths from 20-50ft focusing on the back end of creeks and deep points that intersect the channel.
Here's a couple of big Red Rooster Spots from last Friday.
The Striper and Hybrid have also been showing up on my Livebait trips. We've caught a few lately and I expect this bite to improve with the cooler temps coming. As always we catch plenty of big Spotted Bass while looking for the Stripers. Here's Roy from Tampa, FL with a 40+ inch 30lb Striper.
I have openings after the first week of January if you're interested in getting out please drop em a line. I offer trips under $100 a person when booking 5 party trips so get together with some friends or family and drop me a line. Check out the rates page for more details. Happy New Years to everyone.
