Pelican! 5/13 - Andymansavage - 05-14-2011
Hey guys, been focused on hunting the last year and haven't posted.....a friend and I both had to see clients in vernal yesterday and decided to hit pelican before heading home. My little brother also joined us. We launched on the dirt ramp around two thirty pm and were into fish immediately. We primarily slow rolled spinnenrbaits out on the weed line, now fifty yards off shore. We also used plastics and I even brought a fly Rod and landed a few on egg sucking leaches. The bite was on until dark and we boated well over 100 fish between the three of us, even some bluegill. Some were pretty nice. There were a few other boats, but they would fish for five minutes then race across the lake to a new spot without catching fish. we stayed in the same general area for seven hours and never stopped catching bass, silver bladed green spinnerbaits were by far the most productive, fished slowly.
On a side note, it was Friday the thirteenth so a belly dump decided to open the hatch while passing us and showered the the truck with rocks, smashing the windshield and giving us a pretty good scare....

Great report. I didn't realize that trolling was an option on Pelican.

Sorry, by slow rolling I meant retrieving them slowly after casting so that the blades slowly roll over instead of the usual faster spinning just under the surface....haha.
while casting I had an ultralight setup drifting a jig two feet under the boat and I had to stop because I was getting to many "one man doubles".......
Man I love pelican.

My bad, I added a "t" to your "roll" comment.

Sweet [
] I'm headed up there thursday night with a couple buddies and that's just the report I wanted to hear! Hopefully the weather hasn't turned them off.... Do you think they are on beds yet or has it been too cool for them?
