I fished Spring Pond from 12:45 pm to 3:30 pm. The air was cool and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. The wind blew fairly steadily out of the north-northwest at five to 10 miles per hour. The water temperature was 57 degrees and the water was murky; I could see down only 1-1/2 feet. I launched in The Other Woman on the west shore of the south cove. I spend the first 15 minutes trying to spot a fish in the water or any activity on the surface. When I got to the southwest corner, I finally saw a splash and threw a wacky rigged green pumpkin/red flake five inch Senko at it. The Senko was picked up off of the bottom by a short largemouth bass:
For the next 2-1/2 hours, I tried trolling a Perch Rapala Shallow Shad Rap SSR07, a Perch Rapala Jointed Shad Rap JSR07 and a Silver Shad Rapala Jointed Shad Rap JSR07, throwing the wacky Senko and various spinnerbaits, and dragging an Olive River2Sea Dahlberg Clackin' Crayfish over the bottom. I also tried throwing a Bullfrog Zoom Horny Toad over shallow weedbeds and my crappie rig, which is a Pearl Silver 2-1/2 inch Gulp! Minnow on a 1/16 ounce round jighead suspended under a bobber. Unfortunately, I got nothing other than a small yellow perch that hit the trolled Perch JSR07 and spit it three feet from the boat. I'm really starting to hate murky water!

| PECo have you had any luck with that Dahlberg Clackin' Crayfish? I tried one when I was up at Lake George and it didn't produce. At the same time I would rig up my kids pole with a broken off piece of a Senko on a drop shot and they would be pulling in smallmouth! I have tried the Clackin' Crayfish several times with poor results, just wondering how productive it's been for you? |

Nothing for me either, at least, not yet!

| They sure look enticing in the videos I have seen. Another lure designed to catch fisherman! LOL |
