SLUGFEST !! @ Cedar Lake

Had to break a little ice for a little 9 boat fish-off on Cedar Lake this weekend. With water temps from 39-41 degrees and a chilly air temp starting around 22 degrees the "FAT GIRLS" were hungry! My partner Darrell Calhoun and I didn't win, but we had a great fish catching day. Cedar has the slot of 14"-18" long, we were able to catch 7 over the slot, 4 in the slot, and 9 under the slot. We weighed in 7 fish for 11.99 lbs. I did weigh our biggest 5 fish on a x-tools scale for 18lbs 14oz. We were allowed to weigh in 2 over and 5 under the slot. The winning weight were 1st. 15.05 lbs and 2nd. 15.03 lbs. Big bass was 5.43 lbs. There was over 50 fish over 18 inches caught by the 9 teams total. I caught my fish using jerk baits on Powell Rods Max 703 cb glass rod.

The Jerkbait bite is here.

Finally after waiting so long I finally caught a few jerkbait fish. Got to go to Cedar Lake on Fri Dec. 10th. I took Jack Harper with me. I the first 15 mins we put 2 around 2.5 lbs each in the boat. Ended up the rest of the day just catching 4 more shorties. We had a blue bird day and a wind of 5-10 mph from the SW. The water temp was around 45 degrees on the air temp got up to around 52 degrees. It was a really nice day for December. There is one thing about Cedar Lake the nastier the weather this time of year the better the fish will bite.

Casa de FAT GIRLS

I have also been building some new brush and stumps for the "FAT GIRLS". Can't wait to catch some off of these after I get them placed in the lakes.
