LSC weekend report

Although I was not on the water this weekend, fellow club member Matt Morgan began his practice on St. Clair and had some interesting things to share after his fishing day. Matt was joined by his dad Charlie who is a very good fisherman as well and the two reported an improving bite which is good news for the upcoming club event.

Matt stated that most of his fish came from deep water, 14-15 feet and they were concentrating on open patches in the grass that has started to thicken up with the hot weather. They would basically drift and rip the tubes out of the weeds but occasionally they would stumble onto an open spot in the vegetation and that's where the bites occurred.

Matt said the weeds they were fishing were not real heavy and felt like mossy bottom cover but they were enough to render a dragging retrieve useless. As they headed south towards the mile roads area, the weeds thickened and you could actually see them below the waters surface in their thickest areas.

Tubes were the hot bait as usual and green shades were the best but Scott Hartman and I had our best action with smoke colors over the holiday weekend. Matt will be out later this week as will I and hopefully the bite continues to improve. I have not heard of anyone getting them in the channels yet or at least they aren't saying they are so I believe the main lake is still the best option for decent limits. I'm not used to fishing that deep and only have a few waypoints that meet the criteria so I might be starting from scratch but sometimes that works out better anyway. I'll keep the info coming as I get it.
