4/21/18 Fishing Report & Lake Conditions

Wow,  time flies when you are busy.  Currently our lake is right at the five foot level on the gauge it is measured by.  It is full at 7.50 feet so it looks like we won't have a full lake this year but that has not effected the fishing.   Lake clarity is very good right now and I rate the fishing as very good.   The water temp's are now starting out around 58 to 60 in the mornings and with the current pattern of warmer weather,  the spawn will kick into high gear over these next upcoming weeks.  I personally do not concentrate on "sight fishing" which is looking for the fish on their beds, but there will be a lot of that over the rest of this month and into May as the fish continue to spawn.  With a lower lake level and some very clear water in a lot of areas,  the sight fisherman should have a lot of fun. 
We are catching some really nice fish in the two to three pound range and there has been a lot of fish caught recently in the tournaments that are in the 7 to 10 lb range.  Currently most patterns are working,  the drop shot, shakey head, carolina rig, wacky and texas rigged senko's, jerk baits, alabama rig's,  are all working if you stay with any of them long enough.  Just a reminder for those of you who will be fishing during the spawn,  please picture and release your fish where you caught them, especially if you caught them off of their bed,  give them a chance to finish the spawn.  The crappie bite has been excellent and it seems they can be caught almost anywhere around the lake.  The tournament season is in full force so weekends have been especially busy and with the nice weather now here,  it will get even busier,  fishing during the week is much less crowded.   The weather has been all over the board this year and it's my opinion that the current spawn is a little later than normal, May should be a great month as the fish continue their spawn and then go on a feeding spree to get their energy back.   Be safe, be courteous,  don't crowd in, there is plenty of room for everyone, watch your boat wake when taking off,  no need to ""Rock"" the boat for someone else.   God Bless,  Bob
