Weather - Mostly Cloudy, 70's in the morning warming to 84 by noon
Wind - Windy, felt like constant 10-15mph out out of the south
Water Temp - 74
Water Appearance - Wind blown points and the boat traffic had the water muddied up pretty good around the shore, but clear in the middle

Slept in and the wife and I hit the water about 8:30AM, fished until 1:30.  Caught a nice 3lber right off the bat fishing main lake wind blown points and bluffs.  Pattern pretty much stayed the same, find the wind blown banks and throw the blade and caught another 6 fish the rest of the morning, but they were all small.

Hardly worth the pic, but still fun...

Boat is still hooked up, trying to figure out where to go tomorrow!

Continued Report -

Weather - Mostly Cloudy, 60's in the morning warming to 75 by noon
Wind - Calm at first, then light wind out of the North picked up
Water Temp - 74
Water Appearance - The rain overnight had the main lake muddied some


Hit the G'town again Sunday morning, this time with Brian and with a light wind and cloud cover we knew we could count on a few topwater bites.  Rolled up to one bank and put 5 keeps on topwater, a quality smallmouth and a nice 4lber chunk to anchor the limit.  I am still learning this lake and now I know what they mean when they say this lake fishes "small".  We caught most of our fish from a 50 yard stretch of bank.  Hopped around a few different spots, caught a handful of dinks then the sun came out and we pitched timber resulting in a 2lber or so to end the trip.  Off the water by 10:30AM

Solid GT bass and good report. Good to spend some fishing time with the lady. I'll be watching the radar in the AM to see if their 60% chance of storms is accurate. I know how it is when the boat refuses to be unhooked...hard to argue with it.

Re: G'Town 050209

I was there from 7:30 until about 9 or so. I launched at Cedar and as I was leaving the cove and about to hammer down, i saw 4 heron on the bank just outside the cove. Fished that bank with a spook jr and caught 6 fish on my first 10 casts. As I moved down the bank, I caught 3 more, but all of them were less than 15 inches and most were less than 14. Moved out to some main lake points and caught a very fat 17.5 and a very skinny 18.5, mixed in with 2 more small fish. Caught all of these on SB's. I moved up in the shallow end of the cove by Jim Hogg and started pitching a jig to the timber. I do not fish a jig much, but caught 2 really nice overs on the only 2 bites I had. Had to get home to cut the grass for a party tonight,,, great day on the water.

Re: G'Town 050209

I was also out there today...I think you put in right after me IsThataBass. I saw the same thing you did with the herons but in a different area...I saw 9 and repeat 9 herons in one 30 yard stretch of bank. Moved in closer and it was a full blown shad spawn, hundreds of small shad bunched together incerdibly close to the bank. The only thing I had tied on to match the hatch was a small roadrunner I had tied on to try to luck into some whites. It was good for 10 fish in the first 20 or so casts. That bite died as soon as the sun made a brief appearance so I started alternating between the shakey and the jig and was able to put 2 overs in the boat as well as about 20 slots and unders.

I was there Sunday morning also from 8AM till around 1PM. At Cedar Breaks boat ramp, I threw a zellpop topwater .....first throw, nothing, but white bass on next 6 casts. Small ones but still fun. And headed around looking for LMB.

Nice fish Terry and Brian....

Cannot beat the topwater bite...It will get your heart beating faster than any other fishing technique in my opinion.

Nice smallie, too.

Had a great time -- thanks to terry for taking me out. Been trying to get together for a while. Some pretty good topwater blowups on a couple of banks, think the front might have put them off a little bit. thanks again for some pretty choice bigger boat knowledge Terry, that will come in handy next year when i upgrade.

Nice report 'Dub. Looks like you had a couple of nice fish out there. May have to remove the "Dead Sea" label soon.....
