Lower Bolton Lake 9/14
Message:
What a terrible outing at Lower Bolton. Front pushed through Saturday and we were on the water Sunday. Idk if it was the front pushing through, the shocking of the lake or both that made this tournament so miserable. There were 9 guys, 3 had no fish, 3 had 2 fish, 1 had 1 and 1 had 4. Winning weight was 5lbs, second was 3lbs and third was 2 lbs. I myself had none, but caught 3 shorts. These fish were no where to be found, they weren't shallow, weren't deep, I threw everything at them from all depths of the water column to different retrieves. Typical Bolton is there are herds of sunnys or perch and other small fish under trees or in shallow and even they were MIA. All the weeds are gone, or if they're still there in some spots they are all brown and dead. What fish I knew of were skittish at best. Had multiple hits on a rattle trap and during the fight the hooks would just come undone, no jumping, no digging to spit it, just randomly popped off. One fish I caught on the trap didn't even hook in the mouth, he had both sets of trebs in his belly. Just goes to show the lack of aggression, you'd think if he put that much effort into getting at it he'd just eat and not just smack at it and miss. On the other hand, a lot of guys didn't catch many shorts either, which is very not Bolton either, usually you get plagued with 11"ers and weed out the 12"ers for a limit. All in all, not very bolton like day. Hopefully this place bounces back.

I know how you feel. I fished Hopeville Pond with rmflint (aka Ryan) and we had trouble finding fish, too. The water temperature ranged from 69.5 to 73.5 degrees. We ended up with eight or nine largemouth bass in the boat, but only three or four of them were keepers. Ryan caught the two pound, five ounce lunker later in the day: [img:6f543284a4]http://imageshack.com/a/img537/8291/7DDjab.jpg[/img:6f543284a4] The only other species of fish we caught was a small chain pickerel. The only sign of a northern pike was a five inch baby that Ryan spotted in the water next to the boat.

I had a tough time getting bigger bluegills to bite at a certain spot where they've been hanging out at Twin Brooks. Other days I've landed at least 5 with 2 or more being 8" bulls. But Sunday I only landed 1 and they weren't being aggressive like they have been.
