Spent 2 days on the lake this past weekend and man the fish are starting to really snap finally out there it is lookin like. Water temp of 64-66 degrees was the normal….I trolled leadcore all weekend along the 14ft- 22 ft. break and caught fish in every spot I fished in the lake from one end of the lake to another. The crappies as well are on the chew for bleeding shad raps it seems as of late ,too. The speed I presented the baits at was 2-2.6 MPH depending on depth. The trick if ya run leadcore is when you gou up the brake and get further on top the flat (shallow) than you intended to speed up to 3+ MPH and this allows you to sweep the lead up to prevent the line as well as the bait from dragging across the bottom of the lake. I am finding quite a few lower 20″ fish in deep water in the middle of nowhere which can make for a borring search but as soon as ya marked a school of fish I marked the waypoint and we would figure 8 the spot until we lost them. I have to say Saturday was a MUCH better bite than yesterday. I spent most the day looking for size yesterday but after leaving the Lake City area we were back onto some quality fish again after we made a long run in some bumpy water. Overall the weekend was awsome and got to try out the new kicker on the boat and all I ahve to say is once you get one you will never troll off your console the boat control is unreal from the back. Plan to be up all next weekend and the following week wednesday till Sunday so if ya see me runnin around do not be affraid to say hi.
