Apparently a big club tourney this morning, a bunch of people just drove in before they were supposed to, but the end result was the lake opening about 40 minutes earlier than it was supposed to.
Waited for the tourney guys to launch and then headed to the back of Chocolate. Unlike last week, when it seemed like there was a fish ready to eat dropshot in every bush, todays bite was a little tougher. Water was nice and warm about 68 but the only surface activity I saw was from Carp. I spent way too much time in the back of the creek trying to recreate last Sunday’s magic. Found a couple eaters but it felt like I made a billion casts today. Got out to the main lake and added on another dropshot fish before the wind decided to cut the day short. Pedaling back against the wind was some workout!
Seems like I made a couple of mistakes: 1. I should’ve started in the main lake and gone to the back of the creek later instead, seems like most of the bite was happening there. 2. Should’ve switched up presentation. Guys were catching them in the main lake using a different finesse presentation while I was banking on the dropshot bite and stuck to it for most of the day.
Nonetheless, a beautiful day and getting out and catching a few is never a bad time. 3 for about 4.5lbs is a lot better than a skunk at least.
