Mountain Lake Fishing...

Went fishing yesterday in a small mountain lake. Very warm day and was looking to catch some crappie and trout. I searched for the crappie in between large docks where it was shallow and filled with beds. I was hoping with the warm weather from the past few weeks, that they would have settled back to the beds in the sun- But i couldn't find them too quickly so i Left that spot. Then, on my friends 12 ft Jon Boat, we moved to the mouth or the river that feeds into the small lake. This water is freezing due to the snow melting in it up the mountain. We found some good sized trout and caught them by twitching a worm "drop-shot" rigged. Also, had some results off of a yellow 1/8 rooster tail. Caught all these at the mouth of the small river which feeds into the lake- most of the hits near the bank of the river where there was a 10 foot drop-off. The rainbow trout were all about 16 inches, 1-3 pounds. Not bad for an hour of afternoon fun. Until next time, Tight lines.

Hey Anglers, sorry it has been so long since I've posted. I lost the link to it and just now found the piece of paper I had it written down on. I wont go back and tell you all the fishing I have done, but will start to post more frequently now. I have- since my last post- purchased a boat.

Its a 17 foot aluminum Spectrum Bass boat.

Perfect for a guy like me.

It's outfitted with a trolling motor, 2 motorguide fish-finders, Livewell, and a 40HP Mercury Force.


The fishing on the lake I usually fish- Lake James, NC- is a tough lake to fish. But I'm finding some spots to catch Largemouth, Smallmouth, White Bass, Crappie, Brem, Walleye, Perch, Pike, and Catfish.

This is all for now, but expect to see more posts out of me. I may post some pictures and stories from previous trips soon.

Invite your friends to start reading.
