LAY LAKE SEPT 2008

THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND IS HERE AND THE LAKE IS FULL AND THE WATER IS COOLING. SOUNDS LIKE ITS TIME FOR THE FALL PATTERN TO START! WE HAVE FISHED HARD THE LAST FEW DAYS WITH MIXED RESULTS. FORGET THE DEEP PATTERNS WITH BIG CRANKBAITS. WE WORKED FROM PARIDISE POINT TO JUST BELOW THE 280 AREA AND THE FISH JUST WON'T HELP US OUT. THE #1 WAY TO CATCH FISH AT LAY IS TOPWATER AND BIG BLADES. WE GOT MORE GOOD LARGEMOUTHS ON NIGHT TIME WAR EAGLE SPINNERBAITS DURING THE DAY THAN ANY OTHER LURE. THE PURPLE AND BLACK AND ALSO THE RED AND BLACK WORKED GREAT. SLOW ROLLING IN THE 4 TO 10 RANGES IN ANY TIMBER WAS KEY. THE GRASS IS SLOW SO BACKOUT 50' AND WORK THE SHALLOW CREEKS AND STUMP ROWS ALL AFTERNOON. AS THE WATER WARMS DURING THE DAY THE FISH COME TOGETHER IN THESE AREAS. HERE IS A BAIT WE PLAYED WITH SUPER RESULTS. IT A BETTS SPIN SHAD IN BLEEDING SILVER WITH A SPINNER ON TOP. IT TRUE ITS A MONSTER SIZE BETTLESPIN FOR BASS. SLOW ROLL THIS BAIT AND WATCH OUT. BE SAFE OVER THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. SEE YA AT OKOMO
