The wind had roiled and discolored the water making it pretty much not worth fishing.  It  also scattered the Tui Chub bait schools and the fish. As a result, since Thursday, we've had to look around quite a bit for areas holding feeding fish.  In spite of the weather conditions, limit and near limit fishing is available for those anglers willing to brave the elements. Sep's watermelon, orange and brown grubs produced fish this week for trollers.  With the wind blowing strongly from the west, we are trolling with the wind pretty much at "wind speed" with our grubs set from 2-5 feet below the surface in water 7-20 feet deep.  The best trolling areas are on the west side of the lake between Shrimp Island and Pelican Point.  The "slot" between Pelican Point and Browns Point at the tip of the Youth Camp is also producing fish.  The average fish we put in the box this week was 2.5lbs with our biggest fish weighing in at 3lbs 1oz.  The fish are fat with "nice shoulders" on 'em.  Many of the larger males we are catching are showing off their spawning colors and hooked  jaws. The fish have also moved around for the bobber fishermen.  However, those anglers that are pulling their anchors and moving until they find willing fish are catching limits. The good news is that the weather has been cloudy since Thursday morning this past week so the bobber bite has lasted well into the morning hours.  The best bobber fishing areas have been on the west side of the lake between Shrimp Island and Pelican Point.  Anchor up off the points in 10-12 feet of water and cast in towards the shoreline with your threaded crawler set at five feet deep.Fish Traveler Guide Service is offering Lodging/Fishing Packages along with our Daily Guided Fishing Charters this season.
