abelfisher Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 OK, I taking my son fishing tomorrow morning. Ever have one of those nights before the trip, where you have no idea what you are going to rig up? I just don't know what I am going to set up. I have 4 baitcasters and 3-4 spinning rods I can set up but just am puzzled with what to set up. The lake I am going is clear to partly stained, 58-59 degrees, some cover as the water is up (somehat flooded) has a nice island with some deep water not too far off. I was there last week and picked up some fish on my FF at 28-36 ft. Problem is there are trout in this lake also, couldn't figure out what they were (trout or bass) threw some senkos at them...nothing. Anyway, any advice is WELCOME! Remember I still have to show my boy (22 yrs old) that the old man can still catch them. HELP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebbasser Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 That water temp would lead me to think they are in pre-spawn mode. I'd tie on a rat-l-trap and work the edges near the flats where they spawn. The NW side of the lake will warm up fastest, so if you fish that end of the lake a fluke or a senko would be a good choice, and if you can see some fish cruising in the shallows try throwing a lizard. Hope this helps and good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefxian Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Im from California and as everyone knows the bass love trout. I would throw trout colored flukes. Im still a fan of Senkos, Maybe june bug colored. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
