    Default Lake Egypt 1/27/2018


    What more can you say about fishing Lake Egypt in the winter! Always a blast. When your cork goes under, you could have a bass crappie catfish or bluegill.. Had (bowhunter012463) AKA Pat... and my son Clint, and Austin. Sat in the rain for a few hours. Didn't stop us from having a blast with friends and family!

    Had a blast Brian. You can be cold and wet but when the fish are biting you forget all about that.
    Lets go soak a line. Pat

    46 to 54 or so...depending on how cold the nights have been and how much the sun shines and how close to the discharge you are.

    Don't ever stop fishing if you want to go because you think the waters too cold. You just have to change tactics and adjust. Sometimes its just not a good fishing day just like other times of the year. Sometimes your just not fishing right.

    Have already caught some fish 6 ft deep .... casting and reeling roadrunners. In January one day about 1:00 in the afternoon the sun was shining bright and a light wind was blowing into a bay. Bait fish came up...crappie came up.They smacked it like it was April.

    Other days they won't come shallow and you got to fish vertical and slow.
