I was out on Saturday and as stated, the fishing has been strong. Water temps are very important this time of the year. At the hotwater discharge(the rope) we were getting 82 degrees but this is not the temp I key in on.
I sent you a PM on the rest, check it out. Nothing too important but a few things that I have learned over the years.. OH, I DO NOT TROLL and hate trolling. Drifting is the only way to go on this lake as the reds in fairfield are very skittish to hull slap. The trolling motor would cause enough hull slap that we would not get bit. Sounds crazy I know but it makes a difference. I cast and cast till my arms are ready to fall off!!!(not really but I do cast non stop all day)
Traps, I bought them at cabelas and they actually dont have any left at the cabelas in fort worth. I bought them all today!!! lol I also bought all the yozuri lures they had clearanced out(all but the tiny ones). my wife is going to kill me if she finds out. I picked up about 30 or so mag minnows, crystal minnows, tobimarrus and a few poppers. They were all marked down to 3$ when usually 14.99. They tend to also work well on fairfield but not as well as the trap. Good to hear from another Fairfield fisher.
One more note, if any of you use Saltiga lures, they too are marked down but as of now, they are 8.88.
