Bm 6 apr

Arrived 8:30 fished until 2:00

For me it was one of those days of where to start, water temp at the ramp was 57, I eagerly decided to hit the shallows, tried two ole favorites with zero luck... ok plan "B" (Shallow & structure) off to the stumps.... no hits (Also didn't venture very deep)
(Plan C).... back to the winter plan deep water, Picked up 3 near the bottom in 20-30 FOW between 9-10 inches
on Jigs tipped with minnows ( maybe I should have went back to nibbles) :scratchhead
Anyway water temp made it to 62 when I got to the stumps, but was back and forth 59/60 over deeper water when I left.
So no fish for the pan but no smelly animals to ride back with either :-)

Better luck next time, some days they just don't want to cooperate.

Good report, better luck next time

Still better than I did at Sandy River on Sunday. Fish are on the move big time and hard to figure out. They have to show up and eat sometime.

I noticed quite a few boats showing up as I was leaving, could be one of those "late start" lakes ...weird but I have seen it in the past, fish will start hitting later in the day at certain lakes like they're in another time zone ......oh well that fishing

Good that you did get out Mike.

I didn't catch any...with that darn yard-rake in my hand all day!

Thanks for the report!

I am not sure why that lake doesnt warm up faster than it does. Even a big lake like Buggs with colder water from higher elevations is over 60 already. It seems BM is slow to warm every year.

I imagine it has to do with thermal structure and the resistance of the lake to mixing and stratification.

I know this past week at buggs things really didnt get started till about 2 and was hot from 2 till almost dark.
