Oak Orchard 9/10-9/12/24

[Fjaq]

9/10 Launched at 9am, pulled out at 3pm. Never moved a rod. Lots of marks in 100fow. Tried spoons, flies, jplugs, meat, kitchen sink.  Riggers, dipsies, lead core.  Nothing worked. Water temp was 68deg from top to bottom.    Spent an hour or so in 350fow. Not many marks. 
 

9/11. Launched at 6am out at 2pm. Almost carbon copy of 9/10. However, water temp was 68deg all the way down to almost the bottom and The bottom 10’ was 55 deg.  Tried everything including some rapalas today.  Hooked a brown in 100fow and 85 feet down.  That’s it.

 

9/12. Launched at 6am, out at noon. Lots of marks in 100fow. Water temp down 70 in 100fow was 45deg.  Never moved a rod.

 

BUT we had three beautiful days on the Lake, very light boat traffic and fantastic weather.  
May have to get over to Erie for Walleye next.

You aren’t alone, fishing has been tough. The weather has been great and water appears to be setting up a little. Looking forward to the last week or so.
