I got to the lake a little late, I had to take my youngun to school and I had to leave early to grill dinner, but in the mean time I managed to catch a few. The early bite was mostly on minnows. I was catching them on condos in 10-12' deep in 22' of water. Later I caught them 6-8' deep in 17' of water. The minnow bite slowed down and good thing cuz I was about out. I went thru the arsenal try to find the right color and there it was BLUE! Any thing with blue and some sparkle. I had some blue blue blue jigs from Wiess and they worked great. I think the crappie nibbles made a big difference today. The water temp ranged from ~67 to 71. I caught several small stripe and white bass as well. I ended up with 26 keepers. I only had to throw back around 4.

I failed to mention that the weatherman completely missed the wind prediction. It was a windy one that for sure and it kept changing directions.

Nice mess of fish, guess the dead sea is not so dead. LOL

Were you fishing near one of the DNR fish attractors? Have you found any of the attractors to be better than others in the summer months?

No,
I was not fishing DNR attractors. I have them loaded into my GPS and I have fished two of them without any luck. The ones around Kellog Creek are supposed to be holding good fish, but I don't fish down there much this time of year.

Hey jfraley,
Haven't had time to hit the pond lately. Have you fished around the sweetwater creek area lately. I caught a ton there early march trolling jigs.
Thanks,
Fishhead

I haven't fish there lately. There may still be some fish there, but you don't know untill you go. If you get a chance to hit the lake, let us know how you do. I bet there are fish at the mouth of Sweet Water. Seems like there are always a few fish there.

nice looking mess of fish. that sea ain't dead. great job in the wind....
