Lost Lake
Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011 | Author: admin
The wind was too high to turkey hunt and the river was in the Garhole so the only choices I had were to take a nap or go fishing in Lost Lake. It is an extremely shallow lake that only gets the river in it at a lot higher river stages, the ones we don’t want because of the threat of my cabin getting flooded. The deepest place is probably 3 1/2 to 4 feet deep. We sometimes pump water our of the chute with a relift pump to put the water up to a better depth. Now would be a good time for that since the river is high. I barely was able to get the boat off of the trailer. I started off fishing with a Booyah spinnerbait and started to get bites but no fish. Finally I caught a couple but it was obvious something else moving slower would work better. When one would hit and miss you would see exactly where it was because of a puff of mud. A fluke came to mind, so after I’d get a bump a fluke would be the next serving. It worked fairly well but I think some of the bass were so small that some just had the fluke by the tail. I caught none under 13 inches but no biggies either. The FOD was a 2-13. A lot of the 1 1/2 to two pound bass had bloody tails indicating they were fanning the bed which may be the reason they were not biting so well. I caught 8 in all. I got 5 bites on one small log from what I am convinced was a decent fish because he knocked the tar out of it each time I’d go by. Never caught it.
