Crystal Lake Ellington/Stafford
Message:
Went to Crystal Lake in Ellington today for the firs time so I did not know what to expect. I knew that it was a big trout, Salmon and water ski lake and that it was clear and clean. Got there at around 9:15 AM and it was sunny and clear and not many boats. Lots of shoreline houses with docks and boats and for me I like to give people there privacy so I usually don't get too close. Headed up to the north part of the lake trolling an F-7 gold Rapala and nothing. Saw a few fish on the top of the water feeding along the way. Headed to an area an area on the north west side of the lake that contained weeds/ shade where I saw some fishing feeding on the surface and got a small bite on the same lure. Continued into the north cove where there were reed and pad and started throwing a 5 inch two tone green Senko Texas rigged with a small weight and caught a small Largemouth. There was slight wind that seem to push me off the spots I was fishing, hence my questions in the general forum. I continued around the lake throwing the aforementioned combos and nothing. Went into a cove in the northeast corner that was full of pads looking for a secluded deep hole, but it was maybe two inches deep throughout. Continued my way around clockwise and trolled a bit with the F-7 and a Shallow Shad rap sunfish and nothing. Found another cove in the southeast corner, but it was the same as the first. I got off the water at about 11:45 AM and what I found was there were not a lot or areas that you could see above water that may contain Bass on the lake although I did see a few fish come to the surface in deeper water.

crystal lake can be tough. Ive actually never really have gone into those coves but the shoreline straight across from the ramp has put out some fish for me. crystal is pretty much a big bowl. isolated clumps of grass out in deeper water is were id be. docks, etc if thats your style.
