I took out a friend from work and his boy. After seeing the less than stellar fishing reports, I wanted to get in early and shallow to find some browns. We doubled up on 2 browns (3-4 pounds) on the first pass east at 6AM. One on a green/silver Jr Thunderstick flatline, and one on an Orange/Yellow Stinger spoon down 5' with the rigger. They were both in about 10-12' of water. We made a few more passes, and had a few bumps but nobody home.

 

I started working my way out and dropping down. Lots of marks from 20-50', but no takers. I put out 2-6 colors of lead core with spoons. Nothing there either. We worked out west to 120' with a mix of spoons and stick baits, and it was a blank screen.

 

Headed to Bear Creek and found bait balls everywhere from 40-80'. Lots of arches too, but again no takers. Between P-ville and Bear Creek we ran into a lot of slime. It was making a mess of the lines. It seemed to be throughout the water column. I was wondering if some of the bait balls I was marking was actually big clumps of slime.

 

I was going to drop the cowbells down and some dipsies, but I could see they were getting bored and tired. So we headed in around 10. Lake was nice, fishing was slow, and flies were getting bad. (No Skunk )

Tom, I think you talked to my father at the launch sunday morning. said you would be on 69. we were working deeper water 150-300 went 1 for 4 with a skippy king tons of bait but very few hooks. I was in the sport craft red top. I will be back at it on Thursday going to target browns and see if I can get more action in the rods!!
