Fishing today

[cevans]

I needed alittle wind as lake was all but dead calm most of the day. There was at least 25 boats on the lake with half bass fishermen practicing for Saturday’s USA bass tourney on Lemon. Water started out at 51 and ended up at 54.5 in places but fishing was super slow. Lots of crappie guys spider rigging with minnows but catching little to nothing but small fish when I did see a few being brought up. I managed 18 total fish caught, with 6 going 10.5 to 12 and a couple of females about to bust a gut. Couldn’t buy a hit on jigs for the first couple of hours so switched to PICO’s 1.0to 1.3 mph no more than foot or two off bottom outside the creek channel. Couldn’t buy a bite in shallow water. Had to fish them deep and slower than molasses. Any faster speed, no bites either. Best colors was these 2 pics. Fire tiger is new color. All released.
