I know the one was a bass i threw into the fork of a laydown and saw it blow up on it...the other one I never saw...I need to figure something out before the 10th...or ...more stay home wish I had more pre fish time to learn the lake more and what baits work ..Thanks for the vote Scott..I'll do the same
A few years back, I was fishing a tournament at Monroe and hooked into a beast.....I thought......turned out to be a big channel cat that hit a chrome crank bait...lol
they are holding water as far as I know...water color was good the wind muddied up some of the submerged Island stuff I was fishing..wish I could have at least seen ...more either of the 2 I hooked to know whether they were the right species..but they were hefty
hey scott sorrell or ethan shaw..are either of you close enogh to the lake to know what the water looks like after the rain this week..if creeks are all blown outdont ...more really nwant to drive 3 hours each way for sat tourney
Not at all Scott...water is up...looked right..I caught one short and broke off 2 fish up in the grass/bushes..I fished up by the dam...should have went the other ...more direction maybe
I'm not sure about the conditions at Monroe, but Sunday I fished a smaller reservoir that had water temps around 52 deg. and the 6 pounder that I caught was ...more on a crankbaIt, in 7 feet of water. This tells me that they are starting to move to staging areas for spawning. I would start out a little deeper until mid day temps go up.
Yes....anything east of Cutright ramp is a idle zone.......that's the only problem fishing those two forks is the slow ride to get there, but it is worth it ...more in the spring.
