Sat 5/6 float tube report
Posted: Sun May 07, 2023 8:42 pm
Shut out for opener on Wed but got a tube spot Sat
Lake 90% full almost to the top of the spillway.
Parking at pigs limited to porta potty and back.
Lost of new shoreline to explore.
Lots of kayakers and tubers, Nascar launch at pigs point in the dark, running wide open in the moonlight.
Got a handful on top with buzzbait then shut down rest of the morning. Spent too long looking for topwater bite. Rest on underspin, plastics
No shad.
Left at 1:00 with 10 and wind picking up and a log run back in the tube.
Toughest opener bite in a while, cold runoff still coming into the lake, fish in pre spawn, spawn mode and them getting use to all the new shoreline. Should only get better.
Did some work on the haswing brushless trolling motor - taking head off, running speed control up by me and adding pole steering to the Scadden Detonator.
I was still soldering a few hours before leaving for the lake so i'm glad I got to put thru maiden trip and I did not get left stranded.
