Was any one on Mississippi lake yesterday?

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Was any one on Mississippi lake yesterday?

Post by seahawk »

I went there yesterday and was on the water almost whole day but only few bites, it was a tough day to me. Was someone here also fishing on that lake and feel the same? My friends who went to white lake and Clayton lake also told me the same story so what reason caused the slow fishing for different lakes for LM bass?

Thanks,

I'm on that body of water nearly twice a week, it's conveniently close to my house. Because it is such a shallow body of water, I find once the weather heats up, the bite just drops off. I know there are plenty of bass to be had, but I'm also not patient enough to sit in the the long grass for hours looking for one bite. Until I get better with 'finesse' and plastics, I think this will always be a tough lake to catch anything when the temperatures reach 30*

Tacklebox, Good to hear your success on that day. What lures were you using and how deep you caught bass(LM or SM bass)? Did you fish on north or south side of the the lake? Thanks.

Hi seahawk we went in at consecion 9a west of Innsville great launch protected from the wind on Sunday ,the wind was blowing i would say north west i believe so we started in shallow on the upper part of the lake and the wind pushed us southward anyway we had a great day I dont get to fish with my son much so when we can we try to make the most of it. we had no bites on black spinner baites but swiched to good minnow head ones that had weight and stayed down long dead weed skirts and green orange were the colors of the day . goodluck next time out there . tacklebox
