Briery Creek
Mostly Sunny with some clouds, wind coming from the North end of the lake
Very Clear
From 701 Ramp all the way to the south end of the lake
5 LMB, 1 pickerel
Jigs, C-Rigged Worm, Buzzbait, Crankbaits, Horny Toad, jerkbait
0 - 25 feet
Fished the buzzbaits early on, then fished the horny toad on pad beds, and fished all other baits on channel drops.
Caught nothing on the buzzbaits, not even a blow up. Had two hit the horny toad in the pads but couldn't hook up with them. Then caught two smaller fish on a deep running crankbait, switched over to jigs and caught one 4+ on one of the channel drops I always fish, continued to head down lake alternating between the jig, worm, crankbait, and a senko. Few light pick ups but no real taker. Got to the end of the lake and fished some of my spots up there with no luck, the water is super clear up there and with the sun being up high it is tough. Also by then the wind got pretty strong and it was getting tough to fish so started to work my way back. Cuaght two more on the jig on channel drops one small and one around 3, then switched to a jerkbait to fish over all the grass beds on the way back and caught one pickerel. Tough day only 6 fish, only had maybe 7 or 8 hots all day including the fish caught. Seems that whenever that wind is blowing from the dam end of the lake to the south end of the lake that place just practically shuts down.
