 Kerr 4/20
Debated going because of the forecast, but turned out the water was nice, just some riffles.
Anyway, left Flemingtown about 9:00 am and headed up towards the main lake. Stopped at Diamond Shoals and through some lures and dragged a shimp on the bottom. No takers, although I did catch some old line that may have been mine from a snag earlier in the year.
Moved on up the the B marker and dropped my trolling rigs in the water (three crank baits with roostertails on a 3-way) and one #2 planer with various baits. Trolled up and around the point to the #2 marker and continued on towards the rip rap until I hit 50-60', then swung towards the dam. Made the circuit up to the hazard bouys and over to the other side of the dam, then up to that point. By now it was pretty nasty looking and a little cold wind had come up, so pulled everything in and ran back south of Satterwhite.
Put out three shrimp on the bottom and drifted in 25-30' of water looking for catfish, never got one. Finally got toward the mouth of the arm the Nutbush ramps are in and went back to trolling. Trolled back to the N marker and decided to call it a day.
One white perch hit a roostertail up by the point at Keats that I returned to the water at the ramp. 4-5 good size fish marks noted at the dam in 100' of water, were 40-50' down. Lots of smaller marks south of Satterwhite.
There was a small bass tourney out of Flemingtown that came in the same time I did, looked like some of them picked up some decent bass.
Oh well, better than staying home waiting for storms or getting caught in them out at Weldon.
Drove through at least three lines of heavy, heavy rain on my way home, but had cleared up by the time I got the boat back in the yard.  |
