Lake Ashby 2-12-16

I got a chance to try out Lake Ashby on Friday. It was my first time to that lake. It was still cold and a little windy when we hit the lake. Water temp was 53 deg. The wind was blowing out of the south west and it picked up as the day went on. We set up and made a drift pass across the lake. Rom was on the front seat with his rods set straight down. I took the back seat and ran the rods out off the back. It was a slow morning and we talked to two other boats. Both were using minnows, we were using jigs.

Ron did better than I did but we did land 7 fish. We did better than the other boats that we talked to.

great report for Ashby...never been a real great lake for big specks...but it sure can produce big gators and big rattlers. Used to coon hunt all that area back in the day.

Thanks to the others for posting where the lake is at. It a smaller lake and the deepest I could find was 9 ft. in the center of the lake. We caught our fish in the center of the lake, We were drifting around 1.1 mph. Used a drag anchor to hold the speed down to that. The first few fish hit on a darker green twistie tail and the the bite turned to a light green chartreuse tail. The largest we got was 14". Name: lake Ashby 2016-02-12 007.jpg
