Wolf Lake / Firetower

Saturday, April 02nd, 2011 | Author:

Mickey and I went to Wolf Lake this morning finding it turbid (muddy), with a surface temperature of 60, and a water level of 91.2 feet which is high. We fished around for a couple of hours and only caught one and one other lost on the way to the boat.  With this kind of start we made the decision to leave and go to the Firetower at Belzoni which was relatively close. At the landing we spoke to a fisherman putting his boat in and we came upon the information that the Yazoo River was backing into Wolf Lake due to the high level of the Mississippi River. Things started to make sense.  At the Firetower we found the surface temperature of 66 and water that was turbid but not to the degree of Wolf Lake.  The fish were relatively timid hitting the Booyah spinnerbaits but not sticking.  We were making contact.  Every now and then we would catch one and even some crappie. We surmised the crappie were some of the bites we were getting that did not stick. Mickey broke out a paca craw and caught two but Booyahs were the bait. The bite picked up after lunch but still their aim was off as we got a lot of misses or fish that came unpinned shortly after the hook set. Mickey lost the fish that would have been the FOD at 3 pounds which tells you they were small. We managed to catch 17 bass and 4 crappie in all.
