Candlewood 8/17

Well first time this year I have been skunked. Whenever a cold front comes in I hesitate on bothering to go out because it usually turns the fish off, but if you have the time and don't go, you can't get that day back. I hit the launch at 5:30 in the morning, beautiful day and trolled my favorite shad raps. I saw bass jumping out of the water all over the place. I tried topwaters, spinnerbaits, it didn't matter what I used. I could see them in front of the boat jumping out of the water but they weren't taking anything. I still enjoy being on the water fish or not.

I fished a small tourney there today. Got skunked also. But two 14lb bags came outa there today along with a few 3/4lbrs. They were hitting Paca Craws and small jigs. I was using the same just couldn't park on any schools. Did they treat the weed there recently? I fished there Wednesday and found well defined weed lines. Today we covered a lot of lake and they were very sparse with a Green Muck Colored water.

I don't know about the weeds. I saw some floating but not a lot. The lake being down this year has messed up my patterns a lot though. I think I'll take a few weeks off and try it again in the fall. I usually fish until some time in October and then start getting ready for hunting season and hitting the shooting range weekly as my fall/winter sports.
