TFR 3/16/12

I came across a new post by one of the Lake Fork guides, Jason Hoffman, on lake conditions from today;

After a nice start, we struggled for a bit to find some fish that would bite. We went to lunch with only 6 fish in the boat, and we only had 7 by 2:00 when I decided to move out to the main lake and fish for some staging fish. I could kick myself in the rear for not making the move a lot sooner. From 2:00 to 4:00, we boated 14 more and missed a couple more. Shaky head LFT Zig Zag, Carolina rigged LFT Zig Zags, and drop shots all caught fish in the 5-10 ft range. All but a couple of these fish were prespawn females.

It's hard to leave the spawning pockets when you are seeing 63-70 degree water temps, but we just couldn't get a consistent bite. Those fish will show up very soon, so keep your eyes open for cruisers.

I'm actually starting to think that all my research might be confusing me more than it's helping me. Unfortunately I cannot keep myself from checking several times a day for updates.

So far I've read reports that pretty much indicated people are catching them in almost every zone, with nearly every presentation. More than likely I'll end up just throwing what I'm comfortable with but hopefully we keep enough presence of mind to check back to the blog to reference other things people have been using.

Now it's off to research the "LFT Zig Zag".
