Lake Arthur report

[zippyduck]

Water color was dirty at best.
Water Temp in the upper 70's.
Air temp low 80's.

Found fish in weeds only. None on rock or wood to be found. Lots of shad in Shannon and muddy creek in the grass.
Tried swim jigs, swim baits, senkos, T-rig, hula grub, chatterbait, and frog. All my bites came on a black frog. tried a shad color and had no reactions to it.

Sounds like a tuff bite.

Tuff but it was there in a very specific location on the weed beds.

Arthur is a tough lake for sure. Hopefully it picks up once the water Temps drop.

Thanks for the report, nothing wrong with a black frog bite

funny how that can work, expecially with all the shad around.

What are the water conditions there? Thinking of taking my Hobie yak for some fishing excitement.

Heavily stained. Visibility about 1 foot.
Grass mats in a couple of coves and in Muddy creek.
Launch out of the upper launch on Rte 528 and fish north from there.

When are you heading this way? I could point out a few things to you.

Bring your black lures for sure. And don't be afraid to throw a black buzzbait as well. I hear those are working pretty well right now 

Also, you may notice some areas with an algae bloom on the surface. We didn't get a single bite in any area where this was occurring, so keep moving along if you come across this.
