    Default Cypress 1/7


    I wish I had a good report with lots of pics. I don't. It would seem that only three or four of us were curious enough to see what this latest cold front did. It was chilly around 10am when I put in . Steady north wind around 8-10 mph pretty much had the whole lake slightly white capping. I went straight to the deepest water on the lake where I'd done OK this past Sunday. It was safe from the wind there. Today, the water was between 50°-51° with the outside temp at 33° when I arrived. The fish were there, but I couldn't get one to touch a crank. I ran the channel on both sides and right down the middle, running 15-17ft. After a few passes, I decided I'd try to tightline jigs and drift through a good school. As soon as I drifted into them, I picked up a dink on pink/black jig I tied. I had a couple more hand rolled pink/black and pink/white in the water along with a 2.5" BG swimmer in electric chicken, and a blue GoGo minnow. I tried from the bottom up to 11' with no luck. I found a couple nice schools that were right where I left them last Sunday. I just couldn't make them bite. I didn't bring any shiners, but another fella was right there with me tightlining some as well as jigs. I saw him catch one. He didn't stick around quite as long as I did, but he gave it a good effort before bugging out. I pulled in my jigs at 1:30 and threw the cranks back in and pointed back towards the Parks Rd launch. I ran a good zig zag pattern to cover as much as I could on the way back, eventually running back into the 17/18ft water, and giving it a noble effort in the choppy water. I picked up one 10" fish straight out in front of the dock as I neared the launch. This was the least productive day I've had since I started fishing again back in Sept. I guess I was due to get checked, but at least I caught two, so I wasn't entirely skunked.: Bright side, it can only get better. The top jig caught the only jig catch. The other was on a Pearl Bandit 300. Maybe next time they'll act right.

    ​You were a brave man to venture out on the lake in such cold weather! Good report!

    Even though you caught only 2 fish, it was still an excellent report. Thanks for letting us be a part of your Saturday.

    Thanks for posting! We need these kind of reports too...especially those of us that aren't able to go, so we know we didn't miss out on all the action.

    I managed to catch a cold as well, so it wasn't a complete failure. I hope they were biting as well today, so I don't feel worse for being stuck on the couch. Just as long as I can get back out there in my spots when they turn back on, I'll get over it.

    I find sometimes I learn more from a bad trip than a good one. I do admire your effort.

    Ouch. I'd still rather be out there finding out the hard way than to be sitting on the couch wondering if you're missing out on a limit of 1lb+ slabs. I've got a week to tie enough jigs to do that next weekend.

    On cypress we rarely even try jigs, seems if some are catching some on jigs we are catching some on shiners. Not saying it doesn't happen but, I haven't been out there and they were only hitting jigs. I'd rather fish a jig but you'd better bring some shiners.

    They weren't even hitting the shiners the guy by me was using. They just had lockjaw Saturday.
