I was out at sun-up today as usual. I drove down to the lake in fog but surprisingly found very little fog on the water. I started trolling almost from the ramp and got the first whack right at the bridge but no hook-up. Seemed promising. Checked both sides near the bridge but found nothing.
I headed down lake and checked the Coast Guard Station. I usually get a fish or two here in the Spring but not this time. I pulled lines and headed to Betty's. I trolled all the way to the back seeing just a few scattered fish and a small school. No bites. Headed to Becky's and did the same thing. I marked a few more fish but only caught one largemouth. Then I ran down to Walton Creek (WC) and the hump. Nothing there and nothing up the creek. Trolled out of WC and past the park to fish the S curve. Again/still saw a few scattered fish and maybe one or two small schools but no biters. I even trolled into Strawberry Banks but saw nothing. I heard not much was happening down the lake so I ran up to R31 and fished there up to R34 and around. I saw more fish and small schools than anywhere but no bites. Since the weather forecast was iffy, I decided to make it a short day. I haven't fished here many seasons but this is my worst Spring yet.
