Got to Rock this morning around 6:30. We were the second boat there.. BEAUTIFUL day on Rock today! The water was like glass, no wind, and 54 degrees by noon!!
Headed to the shallows near Johnson Beach first and did some chunking and winding with Yo-Zuri floating, suspending, and sinking minnows for an hour and a half with no hits.. Lots of fish jumping around us, but no hits.. Tried a worm and bobber comb for about half an hour, with no luck. At about 8:30am or so we burned down to the head of the lake and trolled the Yozuris through the northwest corner the and northern shore several times, making a big loop. Then we started getting some hits, a few in the northwest corner and several on the north shoreline, especially about 50 yards out and to either side of the area where the creek flows in. Caught 3 nice keepers down here (14" rainbow, 16" brown, and a really nice 20" 3 pound brown). About 11:00 we headed back to Johnson Beach shallows and started trolling the eastern shoreline. Got several more hits and landed a nice 18" brown in about 24 feet of water. We saw another boat miss at least two fish.. All in all, we missed 6 fish and caught 4 between 6:30 am and 12:00.. I was really happy with the three pounder! Headed back in and counted 27 cars in the lot with at least a dozen boat trailers. Cant wait to go back. Launching is a dream right now!
