March Hybrids

As opposed to last March when Cedar Creek Lake was virtually shutdown due to high, muddy, cold water, this march is shaping up to be the exact opposite. Lake is at 58 degrees, fairly clear, and 2.5 ft. low as of this writing. And with this rapid warmup we have had the last weeks, fish are on a good pattern. Yesterday's trip found working Seagulls over Hybrids in 24 ft. of water, chartreuse Sassy Shads yielded limits to 7 lbs. Sandies were stacking up on lower lake humps and ridges in 18 to 22 ft. of water. Chartreuse and chrome slabs from Moe's Tackleshop fished vertically are working well. On windy days, we drift more, and on calmer days, we use the trolling motor to keep us on top of the fish.
Crappie are beginning to get thick around docks and piers in 4 to 8 ft. of water on red/char tube jigs.
Now is a great time to go, weather permitting of course, mother winter is not done with us quite yet, lake is not crowded, and with rising fuel costs it will be just a matter of time before I will have to adjust rates to compensate.
