BLACKLAB · Post by **BLACKLAB** » Sat May 10, 2008 12:56 pm

Got a late start this morning about 9ish and was off the water by noon.

5 cast later
3lbs ish

Same fish

Spotted a bed and here are the results
1lb

2 1/2lbs ....give or take

All fish were C & R. Couldn't get any to hit on jigs or shakey heads. All were hooked on Falcon weighted 4/0 wacky senkos!!!

Thanks for the comments everyone. I was going through withdrawls....so had to pull out the good ol' float tube and hit up trout lake.

Great job !! Was there a lot of beds, or a couple spread out??

There were a couple of beds (empty)....but i was pretty low to the water level (in my tube), so it was hard to tell at times. I only covered about 200yds of bank from the boat launch. I just got lucky on one of the beds pulled the smaller on first.

I think I'm going to trout tomorrow. Got monday off of work because I was expecting a long grooling tournament on Potholes. It was grooling, but not long, day 2 cancelled due to high winds. I need a little confidence boost after placing dead last :p

Went out to Trout lake today. No luck. Threw senko, sweet beaver, jig, and swimmies. That lake is freakin WARM.

Good warm? haha

58-64 degree water.

What.....not even a hit? Yeah, that water is warm (just perfect for float tubing). Last week I hit up Sawyer and froze my nads off.

I got a short strike on a swimbait, not sure how big it was. Were you fishing up in the pads? They should be looking for spawning areas so I didn't fish some of the muddier bottom. I did make my way around the whole lake though, probably spent too much time looking for the BIG fish. Saw a few beds, but not a full on spawn. Won't be long.

I was fishing up in the pads and skipping way underneath those tree branches. I'll probably hit it up tomorrow afternoon.

theres some hogs in there. my buddy was reeling in a small bass on a crankbait and a big bass hit it right at the boat. is was a good 6-8 pounder. this was last fall though.

BLACKLAB · Post by **BLACKLAB** » Tue May 13, 2008 4:47 pm

Went out this afternoon 4 hits, but only hooked up with 2
