BassERT, Lake Washington, Crappie, Bass or what will Bite, 1-5-12, Gene Waterman - FishNews - 01-14-2012 We waited for it to get to 50&#43; before going out today.<br />Broke my little toe unpacking when I got here in Melbourne.<br />So I was slow to go fishing, but Gene called and said he was ready and we put in.<br />The water supply and RO system for the city of Melbourne is Lake Washington on the St. John&#39;s.<br /><br />We had 60 degree water and a a steady 10&#43; wind from the north when we headed out.<br />The lake averages about 5-6 feet deep and the chop comes up fast when the conditions get rough.<br /><br />Hit some slackwater with weightless worms and TW without any luck.<br />We dragged different sizes of jigs for an hour w/o a bump.<br /><br />I went to a canal that was entered by 2- feet of water through a water control valve as wide as my boat and tilted up motor.<br />We went a half a mile to one of my reg spots and I hooked up on a spittin&#39; image.<br /><br />The wind got worse and we decided we would come back another day.<br />Slow report I guess, but it is nice here in the mid to upper 70s.<br /><br />I will try to do better on my next report.<br />Good luck to all my CFF friends this year. I will see you &quot;when the weather suits my clothes&quot;<br /><br /><br />Here is a pic of my little FL black bass<br /><br /> emoCool |
