Ray Bob 5-20

I was at Ray Bob today at daylight. Fished around Wolf Creek and Wolf Island deep in the coves and off points. I fished deep and shallow. I tried rocky areas, trees and grass. I threw everything in the boat without a bite.

A pesky little thunderstorm popped up with rain and lightning for about 30 minutes. The water was 75 degrees and stained.

I decided to move to the south end of the lake later in the morning and fished some rocks there. The fish were up in the rocks sunning themselves. I threw a pumpkin-watermelon Senko, Texas rigged and caught three drinks. Two of them were about 2 pounds. All three fish were within 2 feet of the bank in little pockets between the rocks.

The wind picked up around 11:00 and ended my day. There weren't may boats on the water and only about 10 trailers at Isle Du Bois when I returned. The parking lot was full of people flying kites, picnicking and wandering around. When I left the park I noticed they had the Park Full sign up and weren't letting people in. Get your park pass in advance!

Good luck in your outings.

That’s a really pretty fish. Nice post

Water Temp. at 75 degrees seems a little warm to me. Haven't we been getting reports with the Temp. around 67 degrees?

Nice post and fish. Good job.

Nice post!

Thanks for the report! I saw a boat spear the bejesus out of a wave on the mainlake yesterday. It was rollin!

I was seeing 72 last Thursday in the West arm.

Thanks ReelSlow. She is warming up fast and that should put some of them on the bank. Thanks for the report Pitdad and sharing the picture.

It's been a real grind out there for me also. Don't get it!

Lake has been fishing like chit. Hate it when it floods.

It's been fishing awesome until today. Guess the lakes getting to low.

I would rather sleep on a bed of toenail clippings than fish Ray Roberts outside of a couple months a year.
