Thread: Skunked at Watershed

After an hour to break the ice at the ramp (2"+), the lake looked good and I had high hopes for my first trip to Great Creek Watershed Lake (Lawrenceville) for the year. All of last year's grass was dead & gone. Water temp ranged from 38* to 43* with 18" to 24" visibility. A bit of fog cleared quickly


and the wind didn't pick up until noon.


No matter. The fish were on a holiday. After 5 good spots bombed and I couldn't mark anything with random passes, I put the boat back on the trailer and came home.

Too bad. It was a gorgeous day and I was wondering where you were at. Stupid fish.

Nice pics. At least ya got out and tried. That's all ya can do and it was a nice day and as they say "A bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work.":D

As I've said before, the fishing was great (especially considering the weather), but the catching was lacking. Still a great day and a good report.

Good to hear that the grass is gone. It can only get better now. Billy

Ewww!!! The S word. That word should be added to the list of wirty dords that we ain't sposed to say here. I was scared that word was going to rear its ugly head when I went out the other day. Lucky for me, I had a couple crappie and a yellow perch that saved my record of fishing almost 2 years without the dreaded S............ I returned those fish for being so courteous as to keep my record safe. See, I can work with Gods creatures.:DCF

Eventhough the fish were not biting, ya cant beat the scenery. Good luck to ya next time corker.

fish or no fish you sure fish some nice looking places. tite lines JIM.B

Watershed is a nice lake & the fishing will pick up in the weeks ahead. I don't think I've mentioned that the single home with lakefront

is owned by Bryant Stith--local super-hero, basketball great, and coach of his high school team. His inspirational story is here
