No News...but figured I'd post it.
I managed to take off to Black Bayou in Hosston on Saturday. Beautiful day to be on the lake. But this is one of those reports most people don't post.... I effectively got skunked. :(
Started off the day fishing the bank with a small beetle spin...nada
Had some rigged noodles with me, so I dropped 3 in the water with shiners...nada (even found the shiners alive on the hook about 5 hours later)
Tried shiners under a cork around trees....nada
Tried nightcrawler under a cork....nada
Tried jigs...finally had a hit on the grey ghost. It was a bream about 1.5 inches long and I snagged the outside of his jaw (which is why I said effectively skunked lol)
Tried water 3 ft deep...tried 4, 5, 6, 7 feet deep....nada
Everyone I spoke to hadn't caught anything. One guy leaving his camp said they'd caught good a couple of weeks prior with yo-yo's, but that he hadn't caught a fish there in 4 days on a pole. Then when I spoke to CD and he said they'd caught 8 good ones on Cypress shallow, and someone else caught some on Caddo, I wondered if maybe ALL the crappie are up under the salvinia beds along the banks? Could be they're all in there spawning and no one can reach them. I'm going to keep telling myself that anyway. :) I know it wasn't just me. lol Guess there's always next time.
You all stay dry this week...going to be a wet one.
