    Default First trip ever to Wilson lake


    Finally make the trip over to Wilson lake and met up with a good friend to try and crack the nut on the shell crackers!
    and what a tuff nut it was for me on trying to figure it out ! Lots of very deep water and in the places with shallower water lots of trees and stumps so it made scanning tuff for getting much done in a day and a half . Started out on the lower end and made it up about a 1/3 of the way . Covered lots of water looking for beds but really never put it together. Only finding about 8-10 good beds with a few fish on them but they just wouldn’t cooperate today for us . Quality was their for sure but the quantity just didn’t happen. But getting to spend the day with a good friend and his son was well worth the drive .thanks buddy we will do it again.

    I’ve been on Wilson a ton but it’s always been catching the bass. Looks like a good trip for first time there.

    I’m glad you able to come over and spend a little time with us and now you see why I don’t fish on Wilson much even though it’s 10 minutes from the house First trip ever to Wilson lake. We had a great time and you will definitely have to come back and try it again but in the meantime I will start going up there more and try to figure something out.

    Sounds like a lot of fun. Always good to get caught up with a buddy. Love those shellcrackers.

    Thanks for posting! I need a lesson on those - never really fished hard for those and caught a few over the years. I am trying to figure them out.

    Stay at it you will get it ! Once you find a few places you can pretty much duplicate that all over the lake . Look for Shallow flats with sandy/hard bottom . Protected areas like behind a island, around docks ,under overhang trees etc !
