I dont think I have been skunked on LL in a long time but today I could not buy a bite.I tried everything everywhere and got my A handed to me.Did anybody do any good? I hope so.I got on the water about 9 am being lazy and finished up around 2 and the only fish that saw the boat were a few cats I went after just so I could feel a fish pull.Im gonna try again tonight or in the morning.

Fish go to sleep on LL. at 9:00 AM and get up for lunch at 3:00 you just missed them.

NOOOOOOOO!!!!! I can usually pester a couple in the non peak time into biting.Im regularly on the water well before the sun is and can shut the lake down in the eve too.I guess I was just disappointed as the birds were hitting and I was able to locate some blacked out screens of fish and blanked.Im ashamed of me.

OK, Im only 3 mins away from tower bay Im going back out with a buddy of mine and not coming back empty handed. Im cutting something up tonight be it a fish or my buddys face.I will post up my success or pending incarceration.

I slept in as well, but still caught a few from the shore. Bad day to fish with weather clearing up and pressures rising. Used light spinning rig from the bank with little cut gizzards and managed 2 nice hybrids, 4 good eater cats, 1 dink lmb, and an 8 lb buffalo that was a blast to catch on my 6 lb test! I have found on slow fishing days to use light line, small thin wire crappie hooks, little or no weight, and smaller baits to entice the fish. When the weather cools down and fall begins I start catching big hybrids right up on the bank. Hope this helps!

2nd trip out and did a little better but still not worth the trip. Maybe tomorrow will be better.The lake was awesome though.Its not too often LL doesnt beat you up and today,all day was easy on the ole spine.

lolz you got that right and right at 5:30 they came alive! my boat bagged 11 BIG hybrids in 45mins

white sassy with a 1.5 saltwater jighead was the ticket. reeld fast when pause lettin it drop. 75% of the fish was caught on the drop

smallest one was 22"


side note: on sat it was really strange. water was like glass and there where hardly any other boats!

david is this in the am or pm?

Way to go, David!!!!
gues I'll be out there tomorrow.....

pm...

I was out Saturday too...found huge schools of bait about 500 yards out from the shallow cut in the old dam, right where you go through to get to party cove. Herons were flying all over having a feast. Drifted large 6 inch shad over the bait balls and caught a 6 lb hybrid and had two more break off.Those fish are brutes. Later on drifted across the gravel pits and only picked up two cats, one at 10 lbs and one at 5.If anyone is looking for bait early in the am you can get all you need right off the gas dock at Pier 121 marina. You don't even need a boat, just throw where the big street light is shining in the water at the end of the dock.

man i was out there on sunday and i got skunk water was calm shad all over - could not get a bite - and yes it also has been a wile since i been skunk

well not really i got a net full of shad does that count

anyone make it out today???

I went out yesterday about 3:30 and had a tank full of beautiful shad. Marked huge schools of fish just out from the 121 cut. And there I sat for the next two and a half hours watching wave after wave of fish go by without even a lousy pull down. Tried everything, large ones , small ones , cut bait, dorsal fin hooking, artificials , slabs.....nothing. Even went into the cut and netted fresh bait but to no avail....not even a lousy catfish today.Did not see any schooling either.

Man, thats sadness. SO see WW your not the only ones striking out bro.
