Today is technically a family day at the lake so even though I'd rather be at Dale....I'm at Barren....Muddy and 44 at lauch from Sawyers....I gave the left Hogback 10 minutes...no love....then stuck a 3.4 off the Yacht club cove on a jerkbait....yes I said jerkbait. It's about 8 a.m. by now....I've got the lake to myself....I stick two more on the same deal each about 1.5...but they measure. By 8:30-9 a.m., there are 10-15 boats in my area now...got to love it. No worries...I'm onto something right....well that whole deal just shut down....I snagged some old fishing line and a bluegill to round out the day....went back to the cabin for lunch.....went back out with the wife and kids....made a run up towards beaver past the Narrows...found 54 degree water! Ran into some guys talking up the fact they caught a 6 lb carp...I thought to myself.....this is definitely not Dale. Water color was really muddy several people fishing shallow with crankbaits. Barren just##### right now....plain and simple.....I think I might be on to something with the jerkbait deal.....but you might want to use something colorful and head back in the creeks. I threw a shaky head with 4" dark colored worm and a lipless in a clown color....again no love. I even vertically jigged the lipless on several bluffs. I marked a ton of fish suspended 10-20' next to schools of bait. The bite was pretty active until the sun came out and pushed the bait down....then there wasn't enough wind to keep them from suspending.....I think with the water color and conditions....you probably had to snag them today or use live bait.
