What a bummer! What a let down from last week! First thing I did was cruise up to Indian Creek and arrived by 6:45am. Barely getting light. The fish were still there but worried me because they seemed lower in the water than last week. So I started trolling, and trolling, and trolling. I was getting dizzy from running laps inside the creek. Trolled all the way back and out and then up Little Indian Creek. Outside and inside and all around. All the fish were lumped on the bottom or at least 30-40ft down. Nothing up and chasing. I saw some gulls looking like they were expecting breakfast, but they didn't get any. NO surface action at all. I even dropped the A-rigs down low but nothing bit.
Finally I headed up lake to look. Checked Beaver Dam and Linville but not much showing. I did see some fish at the Tennis Courts and gave it a shot. Same thing, down deep and nothing chasing. On the way back I checked Indian Creek again and did some blind trolling between R35 and R34. Checked more places on the way back and found a pile of fish that topped out near 17ft near Willow Tree on a point. I "anchored" there and cast and jigged and dragged A-rigs but nothing bit. I gave up. But it did turn out the be a nice day.
Later, Joel
