Felt like I was fishing in a washing machine- Beaver Lake
Got out Friday about noon…. Took a gentlemen that wanted to see a spider rigging set up, LS and get to experience it all…. I told him at the start we got all the odds against us…. They gonna be finicky likely…. Blue bird skies, water temperature drop and gale force winds…. 35mph gust lol…. It’s likely gonna be be a late afternoon bite…. Gonna ride it out catch what we can in this wind and wait for it to settle…. Was hoping for it to settle about 3 but wasn’t more until after 4….
We finished about 5 with just a little shy of a limit…. Missed a lot bites with a lot pop offs… With that wind the way it was, finicky fish and with those rod tips bouncing…. You gotta stick a fish good and get on them…. Got what we could….
Fish related along a main feeder creek channel in 12 fow…. They pretty much stayed stuck to the bottom the whole day…. Set up was slow vertical trolling BnM 16ft BGJP’s, BnM 1/2oz C&C double minnow rigs and Vanguard Terminal Tackle 1/2oz rigs I tie up myself using Pico Lures 1/16oz chartreuse scope eye jig head, with a yellow/white tube… Kept my speed as close I could at .2-.3mph….
Water clarity was a little more stained, WT 39-40 and lake elevation was 1118.7…
Be back at in a couple weeks… Off to Grizzly Jig Show for the week…
Good fishing and God Bless
