Pre work fishin fix
It wasn't to far from the ramp through the canal over to little Orange lake so I just used the trolling motor. 7:30 I made it out to the bigger lake and put out a spread of 12 rods. The fog was crazy thick, once I got into the lake there was just the dim haze of the sun to use as a reference point. Using my phone's Google maps I started trolling towards the middle of the lake. I immediately started catching specks, most of them being under the mark. It seemed the farther away from the bank I was the less bites I had. It took me almost an hour to get to the middle of the lake and then it dawned on me that I had to be at work at 9, which wasn't gonna happen lol. I turned around and trolled straight back to the ramp and I managed to get the boat on the trailer by 9:30, 17 total fish caught with 8 keepers. Here's a few pics showing conditions, fish, and my filthy boat haha
Reply With QuoteWent out again this morning and tried Johnson's Lake in the middle of Hawthorne. This lake is pretty small, so I started at the ramp at about 7:00 and trolled 30 yards off the pads in a big circle. Bites were in 2's or 3's at a time it seemed, but when I loaded up at 9:00 only 6 fish made the box out of 22 caught. It's been pretty interesting fishing these smaller lake with no electronics and having a 2 hr deadline adds to the challenge to succeed. I have replaced the o ring on the engine so I think I'll go back to little lake orange tomorrow morning and try to dial those fish in now that I have an idea where they'll be hanging out. To be continued...
