May fishing

20160513_173236The fishing has been downright hot these last few weeks! Several heavy downpours in early May brought the lake up well above full pool. This resulted in flooding, lots of debris in the water, and the closing of many boat ramps/ campgrounds. But the fish didn’t seem to mind at all! In fact, some of my best days this May were right after a heavy rain. We have seen a decent number of flatheads this month as the water temps are creeping into the 70’s. And blues in the 15-30 pound class have been abundant, however we’ve had a few bigger ones as well. The striper have also been quite active as they make their way back down the rivers and into the lake. Bucktails and Rat-L-Traps have produced good numbers of these fish, while live bait seems to tempt the larger fish. Right now I have bookings as far out as July, but there are still a few days left here and there! So give me a call and get out there while the fishing is still in it’s prime 🙂 Tight lines.
