Water temp 56-58

 

With the rain and colder weather the past two weeks Don Pedro has been fishing excellent for numbers and quality fish. On 12/5/19 a buddy of mine Scott Taylor and I launched out of Fleming Meadows and started on some main lake points that we have had success in the past. After throwing large swimbaits for the first hour with no success I downsized to a underspin with a 4.3 keitech in the electric shad color and picked up two fish in the 2.5 range. We then made a move into a major creek close by to check a ledge that I’ve been catching some quality fish off of the past two weeks. I started off with a yumbrella rig as Scott picked up a big 3/4 jig. We graphed lots of fish but couldn’t get them to go. I then backed off and bombed my underspin in about 45 ft of water. Using a slow retrieve up the ledge my rod loaded up. A nice 6+ pounder came straight up from the deep. I boated this fish as Scott downsized to a ½ jig with a small beaver style trailer. We spot locked for over an hour catching at least 15 fish in the 2.5 to 4 pound class range along with some small fish.
