well i got out on the water at 11am. first stoped by ronk outfitters to say high to frank. picked up some byson jerky, pretty good stuff. then it was off to the lake.
i would like to say that i caught fish after fish. but let's get real, this is ronk. dead sea west or just plain dead sea. it took me about 3hrs to get my first bite and fish.
weather: rain, light wind, cool
air temp: 48
water temp: 59
fish caught: 1 smallie, 2lbs
i went north from the ramp. worked my way around back to it. didn't read any fish on the depthfinder at all. work most depth from shore to 20 feet. i used a spinnerbait and crankbait, senko and a tube. i finally stuck the smallie by the docks to the south of the ramp. i was trying all colors of senkos and tubes i then put on a tube that i got at the fed club TX at the 1000isle. the color was a green w/ gold and cooper flakes. on my second cast in 4ft of water she took it. i just picked it up and she was running. she jump a few times and then i neted her. let her go after a quick read on the scale.
when i was taking the boat out i meet a DEC officer, didn't get his name. he check my livewell and we chated a bit . it was nice to see them doing there job. on a lake like ronk that is trying to bounce back to what it was in the past, we need some enorcement with pepole fishing without license and taking fish that are not the proper size limit. that is what kills a lake like ronk. well with that said i must unload the boat now, i warmed up and dry.LOL
