Thought this would make for an interresting post. Here is the scenario. Plan on being on the water about 5a.m. tomorrow morning. The past 5 days has seen lines of rain and storms move through nearly every day. The strong storms missed us, but we did get our share of rain. In fact it's raining right now lightly. BUT...tomorrow is supposed to be clear and sunny with a high of 82. Air temps haved ranged from low 70's at night to highs of 82 - 92 durring the day.Tonight is supposed to drop to low 60's. The lake is in far northern Indiana. It's a natural lake, no submerged creek beds. There is a fairly consistant weed growth around the lake. The average depth is 12 feet, but there are three holes that range between 25 and 55 feet deep. Weeds are a mix of lilly pads, cabage and what I would call crap slimy stuff. The bass are just comming off the beds. It was a late spawn. Not sure what the water temp is. I would guess low 70's.
I stopped by the lake a few days ago and suprisingly the water is not really that murky, but fairly clear. Now where would you expect the fish to be? If you were faced with these facts, what would you expect? I'm guessing the bass will be in shallow early on. Plan to work surface baits near cover in shallow water early. Buzz bait, Baby Torpedo, ect. I'll be working a frog also early in the pads and slop. I'll also have a spinnerbait tied onto a rod for more open water near cover, and a shallow crank. And probably a hollow body swim bait rigged T Style weighted on the hook. As the sun starts to climb above the trees I'm expecting to have to work deeper in the heavy weed cover, and also use mid depth crankbaits around deeper weedlines. Maybe get out a shakey jig to work a 5 inch worm if the strikes are hard to buy. Also durring mid to late morning, I'll be pitching a Tiki Stick into shaded areas where a big ole bass may be hiding from that bright sun. If still nothing seems to be working, I'' try a T Rigged 10 inch worm in deeper haunts in and around deep weeds. Is there something you would do differently? Any techniques that you think I'm forgetting to try, or that you would recommend over any other? What would you do? ![]() |
