I have my year in, but with weather like this and me knowing the fish are biting how could I stay off the water. I have not gotten out on the lake during decent weather for some time so I figured tonight was going to be a good night. I wanted to hit some of the spots that were productive for me last year during this stage of the season.
The first spot produced a quick bass and a decent pike in the first ten minutes. I was searching for fish, so I moved onto spot two.
This spot was not holding anything except carp, and I believe that was the problem. The carp had really stirred the sediment up and made the visibility very poor. I believe water clarity is a major factor in catching or not catching fish. It did not take long for me to come to my senses and get the heck out of this loser spot. I zipped back to my original starting point and dissected it further. I fished this area for about twenty-five minutes and did real well. I also lost one giant pike after a very brief hook-up!
