Bluegrass F&W Fishing Report for Friday May 25, 2007

[Moose1am]

Got to fish Otter Pit yesterday. It was windy and warm. Air temps in the upper 80's. Water temps at the surface was 78 deg according to my Minn-Kota Temperature gage on my trolling motor up at the front of the boat

I ended up keeping 18 crappie and one nice bluegill.

Fished from 6ft to 10ft deep with most of the fish caught around 8 ft deep along the edge of the drop off. Weeds were growing in the 6ft deep water.

Water is stained to cloudy with a green color to it due to the sediment.

It was a nice day but the wind made fishing difficult.

Always wear your life jacket if you are in a boat on the water.

My new Avatar is a digital photo of the crappie in my aquarium. The sign reads "No Fishing"

Fishing report for Memorial Day - fished some local stripper pits for bluegill this morning and caught 24 between me & my brother on nightcrawlers . Fish were hanging in and around the edge of weedbeds 2-6 feet deep . Water was clear and fish seem to bite better earlier when it was cloudier . Water level in the pit had dropped 2 feet from a few weeks ago , probably due to the lack of rain lately . Also caught 2 nice crappie on nightcrawlers . Back in the hayday of Hovey Lake I remember catching crappie while fishing for bluegill . Being on vacation this week I plan hitting the pits at Greene-Sullivan for trout , gill and what ever else is biting , wish me luck !
