Winds were gusting early to around 25+ out of the North North West and stay high most of the day. Fished the proctected side of coves up the river with White 3/4 oz. Falcon Special Spinnerbaits and came in with a respectable 23.39 lb stringer on our best 5 fish. Not a bad day considering the weather. Big fish was 6.85 lb. Slow rolled spinnerbaits in 4 to 12 foot of waterproduced all the fish today.
Fishing in
Fishing on Falcon is improving by the week. We are still finding fish in the transition of moving from deep to shallow. With each front the water temp. drops. Temps have been from 63 in the mornings to 68 degrees in the afternoons. Currently I am having my best results in 12 foot and shallower. Had several trips with big fish running from 6 to 10 lbs. I am however finding that the fish are not always ready to bite. Fish found today may or may not bite the next day. Best 5fih stringers are weighing from 18 lbs. to 28lbs in the past several weeks. JoBaby Spinnerbaits in (3/4oz. to 1 oz. White or White and Chartreuse) seem to catch the quality fish but plastics will put some keepers in the boat as well. Best presentation seems to be SLOW!!! Hit the cover and let it fall whether using spinner baits or worms. Water clarity seems to be better now than in the past so some areas may be better fished with Fluorocarbon line than Braid. Just know what your giving up (you will get more bites but loose more fish).
