Bass Fishing Report; Patoka Lake; 5-26-07 |
||||
|
Weather:
Sunny, 85 degrees, Light Wind I
went to Patoka Saturday of Memorial Day weekend.
In an effort to save gas and also to stay away from the pleasure
boats as much as possible, I put in at Walls ramp and stayed in the idle
zone all day. Things started
off good with 4 keepers and several short fish in the first hour.
3 keepers came on a pop-r and one on a buzzbait along a sparse
weedline in about 5 feet of water. I
stayed with topwater for another hour and caught maybe one or two more
short fish. I have been
reading a lot about the shad spawn that has been going on during many of
the recent professional tournaments, and I think I was benefiting a
little from that. The areas
I caught fish early had shad spawning on the rocks along the bank in
just a few inches of water. I
noticed that about the time I stopped catching fish in the morning, the
shad activity had also stopped. Once
the sun got up high, I went on up the river until the water started to
get some stain to it. I
flipped, cranked and spinnerbaited for 5 more hours and caught one
keeper and one short fish on a brush hog.
My 5 keepers would have probably weighed 12-13 lbs, with my
biggest fish around 3 lbs. Steve
