White Oaks 4/18
Message:
Headed out to white oaks cove today figuring that the slightly higher water would make it easier to get in, and I was right. But, launching out of wethersfield cove was not easy. The back wheel of the truck was just about submerged and we still had to get the waders on and push the boat off of the trailer. That was the bad part. The ride out of the cove and down the river was smooth, and we didn't even have to pull the gas motor up to get into the cove.
Now for fishing. We started using small shiners near submerged trees for crappie but didn't even get one bite. Started throwing deep diving crankbaits near deep structure(12-15ft) and nothing. Started throwing lipless cranks near large trees in the water and finally got a dink lmb, 8 inches. Then 10 minutes later caught a 1 pounder. Nothing for the rest of the time.

Also, there was ALOT of fish jumping, and I mean ALOT. Only got one glimpse of a fish jumping, looked like a lmb about 15-16 inches, and it was atleast two feet out of the water. There were some bigger splashes, but most of them were smaller. Does anyone know why they might have been jumping? There weren't any baitfish jumping out of the water, so I am really puzzled.

Like pdcrack said they may most likely be carp that are jumping although you will on occasion see a bass jump after dragonflies/bugs that are above the water surface.
