Sticks produced most of the action.
5/8/2010 - Delavan Lake, water temp 52 degrees, winds NW at
15-20 mph. Air temp 40 degrees. It was cloudy and misty and cold.
Caught 1 fish. It was the mighty and scrappy pumpkin seed. Should
have stayed in bed. It was just too miserable out to fish and it
seems like they thought so too.
5/6/2010 - Delavan Lake, water temp 52 degrees, sunny, light
winds out of the west at 5-10 mph. Air temp 62 degrees. Fished in
the afternoon, caught 15 largemouth, 1 legal. Again we caught a lot
of 13-14 inch fish. Fished green pumpkin All Terrain sticks in 3-4
ft of water. The best location was in Viewcrest Bay.
5/2/2010 - Delavan Lake, water temp 52-63 degrees, wind
were out of the west at 10-15 mph. Air temp 60-65 degrees. Caught 22
largemouth, 1 legal. Out of the 22 bass, there were only 4 over 15
inches. Most of the fish were in shallow but wouldn't bite. Saw a
lot of fish on beds in 2-3 ft of water. Most of the fish were caught
on split shot rigged nightcrawlers. We fished most of the time with
root beer, red flake All Terrain Stiks.
5/1/2010 - Whitewater Lake, water temp 60 degrees, wind out
of the west at 10-15 mph, with 20 mph gusts. Air temp 60 degrees.
Took an outdoor writer out to work on a story. Caught 5 legal
largemouth, the biggest was 17 inches. All fish were caught on green
pumpkin All-Terrain Stiks. The best depth was 3-4 ft of water. The
fish were on hard sand bottom.
