 Falls Lake- April, May, June
Well I haven't been on in a while because i've been balancing basketball and fishing at the Falls. But we have had incredible success at fall the last several months.
April: THE FISHINIG WAS HOT!!!!!. At the Falls Lake Dam(Lakeside) on the right side of the drain schools of big white perch, white bass and crappie mixed together and were all hitting black and green roadrunner grubs on a slow, twitching retrieve, also hitting on minnow. Biggest crappie being about 2+ pounds. No largemouth yet, best guess is that they were spawning.
May: Younger white bass have moved out, but big perch and plenty of crappie still in same area. My dads managed to slam to 6+ pound largemouth bass on back to back trips one on a storm wildeye swim crappie and the other on a fat free shad. Also found out that the largemouth would follow in and attempt to eat little perch. I myself was crappie/perch fishing with a 1/8 ounce rooster tail and slamed a 4 pound bass on ultra light tackle(it was a blast). That bass had my drag singing on tight drag.
June: The fishing has slowed down incredibly at the drain, but still a lot of largemouth and the bigger white bass both hitting on a mepps Comet Mino. On June 16, me and my dad head to ledgerock on the left side of the boat ramp. The water has gone down a little but not much and my dad caught a bass on a red eye shad lipless crankbait in sexy shad color. There is still a lot of small yellow perch right of the rock line. But the highlight of the trip came as night was minuets away and I just put on a storm swim shad, and casted by a floating log and I let it sit while I got ready to leave. so I handed my dad the tackle box and he got in the truck and I reeled my shad and I could feel somethin on and when i realized that I reared back and whatever it was got in one solid run before it made short work of my polomar knot. Maybe it was one of those rare falls lake stripers, I will never know.  |
