frogin at lay lake - Lay
FISHED LAY ON WED AND THERE WAS SOME MORE MUD IN THE BACK OF THE CREEKS! WE FISHED THE MAIN RIVER FOR ABOUT 3 HOURS AND THE BITE WAS SLOW. WE PICKED UP SOME NICE SPOTS AND THE STEAM PLANT WATER OUTLET ON A CHART/ORANGE RATT L TRAP AND A DAVIS CRANKBAIT MID DAY. WE ALSO GOT TWO NICE FISH ACROSS THE RIVER IN WHAT WE CALL THE COW POCKETS. ON A LUNKER BUZZ BAIT IN WHITE. BUT THE REAL SHOCKER IS THE LILY PADS UP IN THE STEAM PLANT CREEK. I'M NOT SURE THE NAME OF IT, JUST UPRIVER FROM THE PLANT. IT IS LOADED WITH PADS UNDER THE BRIDGE AND IT IS LOADED WITH FISH. WE USED THE NEW FROG/ RAT FROM SNAG PROOF IN A BLACK AND YELLOW COLOR. THE BASS WERE BLOWING IT OUT OF THE WATER. ABOUT HALF OF THE FISH WE NEVER GOT ON. THE FISH WE DID CATCH WERE VERY NICE AND MOST OVER 3 LBS. WE DID SWIM SOME GAMBLER BB CRICKETS THRU THE PADS IN A BLUE GRASS COLOR AND FINISHED THE DAY OFF NICE. THE WATER IS VERY STAINED BACK THERE AND THE FISH ARE INSIDE THE PADS. WE BROKE OFF TWO OR THREE TIME WITH 50 LBS WIRE, SO GET OUT THE BIG STUFF IF YOU TRY THIS. SEE YOU ON MITCHELL THIS WEEKEND. WILLIE D.
