The weather app on my phone shows high temp today around 71 degrees. It has been in the mid 50s to low 60s, so I thought maybe...
The only thing is, Lake Overholser seems to me to be pretty shallow as far out as I can cast. And the last time I went out, bluegills weren't biting at all.
I was there for about 7 hours and only caught 1 drum.
I had frozen shad, nightcrawlers and 5 different kinds of punch bait.
The drum bit on a crawler.
When I said it seems to be shallow, I meant like 2-3' from the bank to about 8' out, then less than 6' for the next 20 yards to 30 yards.
Using the baits I had, I was using 4/0 to 5/0 circle hooks and #4 to #8 J hooks. For the punch bait, I was using #3 and #4 treble hooks.
I had a pretty good variety of baits and hook sizes. Just didn't have anything out there that was interested.
