A fine day to be out on the water. Also looks like the riff-raff traffic is easing up a bit too. I decided to head up lake today so I started looking at Hales Ford Bridge . No go, so I ran up to R30 for a peek. I started marking a few scattered fish, some down, some not so down, so I started trolling. Hit that corner, up the bank, over to Stoney and inside, and up to R34. No dice. So I looked around Indian Creek and did indeed mark some fish but no takers. I spotted a small school up shallow on the point leaving Indian Creek and pulled lines to hit 'em. I dropped a jig and was casting around. At times they were right under the boat but I couldn't 't buy a bite. So I kept moving and looking up lake and finally got to Beaverdam.
YES! There were small schools of fish around, maybe 12-20 in each school. I quickly dropped lines and got the first fish right at BE1. A plump 23". No big shakes, but it was a fish. No foolin' around this time, I dropped some jigs and started casting. Zip. I started trolling again and a couple laps got nothing. I started up lake again and made it past Lynville without seeing much. I even made a quick run to the Tennis Courts. A few scattered fish there made me set out the lines but nothing bit.
I ran back to Beaver Dam for another try. On the second lap I was outside the creek mouth when I got another fish. Only 21". Oh well. Another lap gave nothing and I couldn't find any more fish. So I started back down lake and stopped and looked here and there. Nothing showing. I got back to R34 and started trolling to R30. I put out two new lures I got at Captains Quarters and finally at R30 got another bite on one of the new lures. Only 22" but that's about all I was marking was small fish.
Hey, it was nice on the water.
