My non-boater partner for next week, Carl A, and I went out to OHL this morning to try to find some more groups of fish for our club tourney next weekend. We actually wore sweatshirts this morning, as it was around 60 degrees when we hit the lake.
We threw topwater baits on some shallow wood early and had no luck, so we went to some docks that have been holding a lot of bait and fish the last few weeks. the fish never came up like they have been, but we did manage two small fish off the docks on a wacky worm, one of which was a 14" keeper.
From there, we just went looking. We hit some deep stuff for around 30 minutes and each caught a fish, with mine on a worm being a solid 2 lbr. Then we went to a cranking spot in a creek, but the only taker was a solid 2 lb white bass.
After that we headed back in a shallow creek arm down lake and found tons of shad fry and some schooling action. We caught around five in that area, but these guys didn't have their training wheels off yet (dink city).
From there, we went back to one of my best ledges in a creek mouth, but no takers.
By now it's around 11:00, and we decided to go flippin for the last hour. We caught around four more flippin shallow wood and called it a day. For the day, we had 3 or 4 14 " + keepers for not much weight.
Tough day, but we did eliminate some water, and confirmed some of the patterns that have been working lately. We'll see how it pans out next week.
Later-
RBK
