Projo Fishing: HotBytes |
Lakes and ponds are warming, but Anthony Palumbo continues to catch fish. He reports: I fished Bowdish Lake last Saturday. The action was slow going due to the cold front but we did manage to get a few nice largemouth bass. They were biting on slow moving worms mainly. I had success on on a Gulp purple turtle-back worm in the 7-1/2" length as well as a Zoom brown and white 5-inch finesse worm. I rigged them both Texas style and fished them very slow. We caught a few 3 pounders this way as well as on a slow rolling white spinner bait. Most success came from the deep channel that runs out near the rocks in the middle of the lake. Sunday I went to Indian Lake and again had an OK day. There was an abundance of baitfish boiling at the top all over the lake. I had luck using various color worms rigged wacky and Texas style and crankbaits in natural colors. I also tried Berkly's new sinking minnow which is shaped more like a worm. It worked well. It's a nice design. No matter how you rig it, it falls though the water vertically almost like a wacky worm and the ends bounce up and down. It is pre-rigged with 2 weights inside the worm to allow it to fall this way. It really drives the fish wild. Summer peak is definitly here and the summer slump is not far off. Water temps have been in the low 80s at every pond I have been to.
