naked women,free beer
now that i got your attention..
my local lake has me baffled .i'm not sure it turned over(if it did,i missed it).water temp is 50.about a week ago the water temp was51.7,i got a 2 1/2 lber on a silver buddy in about 18ft of water.then i got a 3ft tiger musky on a grubbin zook in weeds in 7ft of water.i've been out a couple times since then and i can't buy a fish. i always seem to have some trouble catching fish when the water is about 50 degrees. i think i hit a mental block at that temp.if you can give me some suggestions i'd appreciate it.i've gone through my log books for the past 10 years and every time i get to this time of year,my log book shows very few fish. is it possible they just completely shut down for a few weeks? |

Re: naked women,free beer
Reagrding your headline:
I kow what you mean, Tom-it is like they are scattered all over the place and no type of pattern to be found. Your lake could be in the process of turning over, ot it may be that they do shut down-they are in transition from shallow water feeding for winter to their deep water haunts. Don't have any suggestions though-I run into the same problem. |

Re: naked women,free beer
I think the problem is that one thing you mentioned. The grubbin zook. Explain to me what it is and I might be able to help you out. ;D

Re: naked women,free beer
When winter sets in I normally fish a Pig & Jig, very slow, I use pork in the winter months as it stays flexable. Sometimes on a sunny day I fish Rat-L-Traps around rocky banks ( the rocks hold heat) Not as many bites in the winter but for the most part, the bites I get are large fish. Lakeguide

Re: naked women,free beer
sorry about that guys... ;D
lakeguide ,thanks,i've been throwing a jig but the danged fish don't want to co-operate.a jig usually works good when the water is just a little warmer or colder but for some reason right around 50 i can't get s*** with it. you're right about the big fish on a jig.when i do get them they're honkers. |

Re: naked women,free beer
East Tennessee locally had turnover two weeks ago...water suddenly dropped to 70. Crappie and bass shut off for better than a week and large schools of crappie couldn't be located. After that week ended, crappie found in the very backs of creeks in 2 to 6 ft of water. Bass are still iffy. Just wanted you to know the temperature is apparently relative.....but the turnover timing with the fish isn't. As I'm not getting the new boat until spring, it's shore fishing this week and will be trying 4 to 10 feet near the back of creeks for bass on a pure guess. Good fishing, Mac

Re: naked women,free beer
I'd try a crankbait on wood or rocks in a crawdad pattern about 8' or less. Slow roll a rat-l-trap should work too.

Try Drop Shot or Doodleing. Doodleing works VERY well in cold water.My favorite trick.

try this storm wild eye baits -match lure to bait size- pump it up and down in a pnj fashion look at rip rap near deep water and bridge abutments. zooker

Howdy snag! Where you been, buddy?
Tom-I just got the latest issue of Bassmaster and the "A day on the lake" feature is dealing with this-basically said the fish are scattered and no telling on where they are or what they will hit. |

Re: naked women,free beer
My best luck when this has happened is to dead stick a smaller baby fluke. I fish it across points. I will sometimes use a 1/16th oz bullett weight, and it helps. But don't expect much if it's turning over, I know I threw the box at em, and only caught a few. I will say that I've been having a lot more luck lately using the crawbug's from YUM than the PNJ ??? Don't know why(probably color, more red in the crawbugs I've used). Anyway it has been a good bait when the bite is tough.
Are you still fishing tourny's or have they shut down for the year, other than Hard Water tourny's of course Lizards |
