I got to the lake at about 8:15pm. En-route to the dock, I was wondering if the screwy weather conditions yesterday and today might have been affect on how the fish would bite. Then again, a bad day of fishing is better than not fishing… Well, maybe, right?
The guy right next to me lands a planter as I was setting up. Soon, I had mine bait out to await a strike.
For the next 20-30 minutes, the only action to be had was from a guy fishing from a float tube. I believe he hooked into two fish in that time span. In addition, he was either talking to himself (just kidding) or someone on his cell phone. I believe it was the latter, lol. Caleb, was that you?
I switched up my bait tactics starting with chartreuse dough with glitter, then a red and white power egg combination, then a yellow egg and pink marshmallow combination and finally a yellow and red power egg.
It was getting pretty dark by the time I noticed a guy at the end of the dock go through the motions of setting the hook. As soon as he did, the tip of my pole received a similar message. Bam! Fish on, right on! This meant I was not going home skunked. It was a dandy 12” trout. I decided to take it home so I put it on the stringer.
Unfortunately, there was no action after these two hook ups by anybody. I switched gears to do a little bass fishing, but they were nowhere to be found around the dock.
It was definitely a great way to spend the evening.
This is closest lake to my house and by far the most stocked. I have only fished it once this year so far and did very well until I was crowded out. Every time I swing by to check it out, it's shoulder to shoulder on the pier and that's not fun for me. Hopefully I'll be able to square away my boat situation and get out there again soon. Or else, I have to be extra determined and wake up a 4am.
Crappy weather keeps away the fair weathered anglers, lol. This is practically the closest lake to me also. I timed my visits as of late in the pm when I know most folks have left.
