First Timer, Good Fun
by LunkerLar on 12/19/23I heard stories of 100 fish days...we caught 12. Lake was bigger than I expected. Nothing on top water or casting the banks initially. Water was high. Trolled off the bank across from dock with 5-10 ft Cranks Rapala DT-5 and Strike King DT 3, 6. (all shad colors). Picked up 2 lb Crappie. We continued to troll and cast at main lake points and still were getting nothing. Then we saw the birds...follow the birds, find the bait, find the school. Got at least 10 two to three pound fish with deep cranks in 8-12 ft. Worked the heck out of the shore. Nothing on spinner baits/keitech/texas rigged. Only crank baits worked. Very cool experience. Hope to go in May or September!
