The front moved through during the night...

Mike and I went fishing today. I was expecting to have a pretty productive day because we had a front moving through. It was raining when I got up at 4:30am, so I rigged the rods at the house before I left. I did hit rain on the way to the lake.

We were on the lake at daylight and at the first place we fished, all the fish were stacked up on the North side of the point. I threw at the point from all different directions going through the school from various angles. Did not get a bite at all on this point.

We then moved about 20 to 30 yards and fished a through that was beside the point and Mike got one bite in that area.

We then moved to the other side of the lake and found the fish on the North side of those points. We got 2 bites in this area drifting down the bank fishing the points and dropping down into the creek channel.

The small bass weren't even schooling in the middle of the lake today. We saw very little top water action while on the lake today.

It was a pleasant day with the air temps in the higher 80's with the water temp at 84 degrees on the surface and 76 degrees at 15' deep.

We talked to a man when we were about ready to leave and he had not had any luck either. He mentioned that it was storming on Friday night/Saturday morning around midnight. So, that confirmed my thoughts that the front had moved through before we got on the lake today.

Today was just one of those days. We fished where the Bass were, they had evidently fed before the storms moved through last night and just weren't interested in anything we offered them today.

We fished a Gene Larew 4" salt craw, the SlickFISH lure, a worm, a Gene Larew Hoo Daddy Jr, a shakey head worm rig, a Carolina rig, a football jig, a swim bait, a Gene Larew Mega Ring tube and a double bowl stainless steel kitchen sink...
