Fished Gallant Elm Creek on May 9th from noon until 6 PM.
Air temp: 79 at noon; 87 at 6 PM
water temp: 74
Water clarity: 3 ft
lake level: down about 5 ft; I would not recommend trying to launch a private boat; I had trouble getting the jon boat launched
It was very windy, but I managed to catch about 14; lost 5. Nothing of any size. Green was the go to color.
Successful lures:
- Shaky head with green ribbon worm; fished from the cove across from the launch site into 14 ft (4 bass)
- Green soft plastic weight jerk bait (9 bass)
- Green rattle trap (3 bass)
- Blue/chart suspending jerk bait (hard) (2 bass)
