Batted for the cycle at Acton today
We headed down to Acton Lake today for the first time in about a month. Lake is low (though heavy rain today may change that) and water temp at the surface was in the high 70's.
I caught four channel cats, all about 12' long, so they went back. Didn't get anything on the crappie jigs I was throwing. Doug was thorwing the same jig and caught the following: four crappie (including three keepers between 9 1/2" - 11" ) three bluegills, one 13 1/2" LM bass and a young saugeye that measured about 9". The only thing in that lake we didn't catch was carp.
We were disappointed in the size of the saugeye. They were supposed to be hitting keeper size by now. The one Doug caught was about the same size as the one I caught back in May.
Everything was along the west side dropoff in about 12 feet of water following schools of shad. We're planning on doing some evening fishing at Rush Run tomorrow - Roberta
