Fishing Report: Main
Channel Water Temp 53.8 Degrees – Backwater as high as 61 degrees Flow 50,700
CFS
I was out
pre-fishing for a weekend tournament. Fishing was nothing short of
awesome! All of the fish we found we relating to flow. Bank grass
hanging in the water in 2 to 3 feet yielded nice 2.5 to 3 lb fish on
both Gil and White Gringo colored Brovarney swim jigs, with 3/8 ounce
jigs being the preferred tool – the extra weight was needed to punch
through the grass – the retrieve needed to be at a snail’s pace. The
Fisher’s Island/Weaver Bottoms area was definitely on fire! Around 50%
of the daymarks held quality smallies in the eddies on the downstream
sides. The ticket for these fish were Get Bit Baits 2.5” tubes in the
color green pumpkin pepper copper flake. It was my first time using
these tubes and the tentacle action and profile were incredible. On one
daypoint I caught 4 smallmouth on consecutive casts when other
approaches yielded nothing. I did find
a big bass pattern that was VERY consistent from spot to spot. If you
could find a sand point that was 50 to 100 yards or longer and it had
heavy flow, there was 4 to 5.5 lb largemouth on it. I must say
this – typically in spring I watch the surface temperature and let
that hold heavy bearing on my fishing decisions – the warmest water
did NOT hold the best fish. |
