Hey all,
The Trout bite is starting to slow down a bit, though they're still ridiculously easy to hook up. Brightly colored worm trolls will get you a limit of chironomid fattened scrappers within the hour. If still fishing, try a small black tube jig tipped with chartruese Crappie niblet(a.k.a.-Skunk Jig) under a float a varied depths. This has produced very well for me.
The Rock Bass have begun assuming their spawning positions. Weeds and sunken timber are only producing the very small fish, while the underside of docks and gravel shallows adjacent to deeper areas are producing lunkers. Of all the lures I've tried, a 1/8oz. black/silver bladed roostertail produces the best. However; since most of the docks are the floating kind (versus those on pilings) I'm finding that it's getting harder to entice the largers ones to dart out of cover.I'll be trying some worm tipped crappie jigs under a float in the near future.
So far my largest "Redeye" has been 1lbs. 12oz..
The Perch are still spotty, though they can be caught in small numbers by trolling aforementioned worm trolls very slowly, zigzagging in and out of the shallows.
Rumors of the remnants of the Largemouth population abound, but no "physical" confirmations just yet, though there are some suspicious looking reds here and there. The history behind these fish are that a portion of the lake was once covered in Cow Lilly (a.k.a-Lilly Pads) and were removed for beach access for a new housing development. The then exposed population was raped by Bald Eagels, Ospreys, Sea Gulls, competing resident fishes, and a visiting Otter from Chambers Creek. What little shoreline cover was left, protected the very few, but very large and wise survivors. Hopefully my little Rock Bass fetish will put an end to what is becoming a local legend. If they're in there, sooner or later they're gonna whack one of my spinners.
