Thread: Diascund report

Fished from 0800 - 1500. Weather was cold a.m., but clear. Clouds thickened & wind picked up. Bite was almost dead. For the day: 3 dinks & 2 greenies.

holy smokes not good. but sounds like a good to reflect on other trips. and also better than not being thier.

Just did a 1/2 day trip? Like most small lakes in the winter, there are times when you cannot buy a bite. It still beats sitting around the house.

At least you were fishing, I was out in that weather near the water in Hampton, it was misreable.

Yes, it did become miserable on the water & that's why I made it a half-day trip. An hour or two without a bite & I'm ready to go do something else. The same thing happened last year at this time. The Diascund bite slowly dropped off & no matter where I looked, nothing. Meanwhile, I started fishing at Pickett (a much smaller lake) & they jumped in the boat throughout most of the winter. Go figure.

well now i dont feel so bad about my zero day.

They shut off at Beaverdam when the water gets really cold at times as well. Some trips I don't even get a bite and others I catch over 100. I never know what kind of day I'm going to have until I get out there.

As the saying goes...."You don't know unless ya go!"

i am sure u have tried to figuire out the pattern to the on/off switch. are there no indicators to help?

there is definantly a switch. sometimes i go and catch and sometimes i go and scratch my butt. I am just starting, but i wish i could pattern these fish a bit better. anyone have tips to help pattern these fish, such as weather, temp, water condition, moon phase, pms?
