Subject: Weekly Monticello Report
Lake Monticello
Water Temperature: 60’s to low 70’s
Water Clarity: 1 feet
I fished two full day trips on Saturday & Sunday with repeat customers Lee Hardin & his son Ryan, we caught 23. Monticello appears to be the only lake around that is at normal pool. However, on Sunday the entire lake was very stained and fishing was tough as well, as we only caught 5 fish. Saturday the water clarity was not too bad on the South end of the lake, you could even see fish up on the beds. The North end of the lake was not very productive for us at all. In fact, we only caught 6 fish North of the 127Hwy. bridge. All of our fish came from 8 feet or less of water. We caught our fish on Gene Larew green pumpkin & watermelon lizards and the new Genesis Lure Craw fishing them a variety of ways. Such as a Carolina-rig, Dropshot-rig & a Texas-rig. If you have not seen or fished the Genesis Craw you need too. This bait is a fish bait!!! It looks exactly like a craw-fish. What I mean by a fish bait is that every fish we caught on it weighed better than 4lbs. and we caught over 12 fish over 4 pounds! It really didn’t matter where we fished on the South end the shallow fish are there and CAN be caught. Lee & Ryan, "Thank you" I look forward to fishing with you again in the future!
If I can be of more help or assistance regarding a trip or "Bassin’ Class" please contact me at 972-414-5189 / 800-965-0350 or by e-mail at FISHWJEFF@msn.com. The "Fat Girls" are up and can be seen at http://www.fishinwithjeff.com and you can receive more information on my full-time guide service & "Bassin' Class." I do not have a "Bassin’ Class scheduled at this time. Also, I am currently booking trips for this Spring for Lake Fork, Lake Lavon & Lake Monticello. I have 2 days left in February (23&28), 3 days left in April, 12 in May and plenty for June. Don’t forget Lake Fork spawn finishes up the first part of June. Until next time…………….Good Luck & Tight-Lines!!!
