Hudson Lake report.

We got here yesterday around noon and had to switch sites first thing as I had forgotten the electrical is so blinkin far from the sites. It's a fine campground, but if you ever come, make sure you got 100' of power cord. Anyway...

we got on the water in 89 degree sunny weather with a wind out of the southeast at 10-15. It layed down more in the evening. We marked fish all over in 12-30 FOW, but the hungry ones seemed to stick in the 14-18 range. They came from all depths from 2' off the bottom, to 2' under the surface.

Carol lost a couple of fish. Pretty sure the one was a big smallie, but the one she pulled from under a downed tree could have been a big slab. We were catching them fairly regularly if we stayed in the right range and kept the speed up around .6 to .8 mph.

We did some slow trolling, some jigging, and some cork fishing, but the most productive seemed to be slow trolling. Water temps ranged from the high 50's to low 60's.

It's Friday noon right now, and we just nicely got off the water, back to camp with the boat, and had it covered and tied down when the storm I was watching on the water finally hit. Carol was glad we pulled lines when we did because it poured for 15 minutes before letting up some. No bridges, etc. here to hide under :yikes


These fish sure aint like the ones down in Sippy and Ark.

Tomorrow we go to check out Lake Diane and maybe Cub lake. Both are west of here 30 to 40 mins.

good report, looks like you're having a great time

Well, at least you out there trying. Looks like your having fun, good for you guys..

It was a gorgeous day today. We decided based on reports on Lake Diane, to stay put and fish here on Hudson. There was a bit more wind than I prefer by afternoon, but still we caught and released a double limit of the same small fish. The quality of fish here leaves much to be desired, but the quality of fishing is great. Carol had to leave her seat in the back of the boat and come up and join me up front to stay on top of the poles.

There were no reports from the muskie fishers here of any muskies caught. We had a father/son from Ohio in the site across the road from us that struck out. We turned them on to some jigs and some advice and they went out and caught some crappie instead.

We will fish for a few hours tomorrow morning before breaking camp and heading back home. It was a spledid weekend regardless of the storms that passed through yesterday afternoon.

those small fish are still small i see, theres got to be some secret to get those big slabs, maybe a night bite, just a thought glad you guys had a good time
