Hi all,
I fished budd this morning, all weeds were pretty much gone, and cabbage wasnt visable either. I only marked fish in one long stretch of 23-30 foot water, south of the island to the 20 foot water at the south end before it comes up shallow. I tried deep crankbaits, as most fish were suspended 15 to 25 ft in 30 ft mainly. I tried jigs, bulldogs, fluttering spinnerbaits, then i trolled a few passes, still nothing. I mean this area i was in, was the only area on the entire lake i marked fish, like they were all in a 75 acre spot. I was kicking my self for not having minnows to jig, but i would hate to kill a trophy fish if he swallowed the hook. So beats me, i am new to fall fishing for these boys, but i was baffled, thinking maybe the fish were just shut off, the water was stained and about 63 degrees, and budd is very clear usually, so who knows?
budd lake report 10/1
