Naconiche

Late start for me.. didn’t get a single bite until around 2 pm.. there were some fish being caught earlier, as I was watching like a hawk. nothing big enough to make me tie on a senko or rip a small spinner bait just below the surface.. I was rigged up with 5 inch, 4 inch, 6 inch swim baitts on underspins.. one spinner bait, and a jerk bait.. never threw the jerk bait, only made one cast with the spinner bait, all day.

Yes, I am stubborn when it comes to how I want to catch a fish..

Around 2 pm the sun started shining and everything I threw worked..










Even the little guys wanted the 6 inch







Fished some areas of lake I hadn’t fished in years..

I like that creek picture. Nice report, and thanks for sharing.

Sure is nice when the fish turn on after a slow start.

Solid post and fish as always. Good job.

Nice report Louis,

Glad to see more good ones caught on the swimbait.

Like DKR said, “You gotta dance with the one who brung you.”

...

I was past where any boat could get back there.. paddled over sunken logs and stick ups that were just a couple of inches below surface... water was still 6 feet deep and grass back there.. turned around but could have gone further.

Thats awesome. I have to make a trip down there. Ive been on that lake once but it was years ago. I needa load up the yak and make the drive.

well let me know ahead and I might meet you there.. Dont believe I have ever met someone that posts about once a year for the last 12 years!

This post got me all excited about trying Naconiche, so I loaded up the kayak and headed there today. Wind was blowing like crazy out of the South. I managed one on a spinnerbait. Decent fish. About three pounds. There weren’t many others on the lake today. The ones I talked to weren’t catching many, either. One couple said they’d fished the lake ever since it had been open to the public. Said they’d only caught 3.

It’s a really pretty lake. The water is very clear, and there’s an abundance of cover for the fish. Laydowns everywhere. Hydrilla, too. I plan to be back.
