Hortonia-July

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

July has been great on Hortonia, however the lake association has applied it second application to kill the milfoil. It appears to be working much to my displeasure. The milfoil powderizes as you run a trolling motor through it. I have still been able to pull some nice largemouths and a few samller pike out of the thicker weeds. Many fish are being caught in open water between the larger weed clumps 6 to 10 ft. Some of the sharper drops are producing some very decent largemouths in the 12 to 15 foot range. The surface water temp varies from 78 to 82, even warmer in the shallower water.

Cedar Lake, VT

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

I took a quick trip over ot a very small lake with Matt a junior angler who can catch fish. The lake is a small lake ringed with milfoil. we figured we would chew the lake up in short order. It was a hot sunny day, water temp was 73. we started fishing the deeper edges of the milfoil and work out way in to shallow then back to the deeper edges, we caught a few fish but nothing significant. As the morning progressed we found large concentraction of 2 1/2 lb to 3lb largmeouths in 6 to 8 feet in the very thick milfoil and the taper weeds mixed with cabbage leaf weeds. We flipped jigs and creature baits. I fished heavy jigs, Matt fished light weights. End of the day we had just over 20 LMB and 4 pike. it was a fun day on lake neither of us had ever fished.
