Blue Marsh 7/4/16

[Deleted]

I decided to head out to BM on 7/4 hoping it wouldn't be too crowded with the Holiday and my wish came true. At 6:30 AM I was only the 2nd trailer in the parking lot up at the Sheidy Launch; I was very happy but certainly surprised. The water was CALM and for the most part the morning remained cloudy. I decided to head up-lake from the ramp to fish the numerous fallen trees and was not disappointed. Then I decided to head down lake to fish a few of the coves still in the no-wake. All-in-all it was not a bad day. I ended up with 5 total which by Blue Marsh standards is a very good day; especially for this time of year. One of the Bass pushed 4 lbs. and another went over 3 lbs. The remaining three bass were all around the 15-16" mark. So again; by BM standards; a very good day. All Bass were caught on soft plastics fishing the many, many laydowns that the lake offers. I stayed far up in the no-wake for the entire trip and even towards late morning the lake didn't seem very crowded. I'm sure the main lake was nuts but I didn't go anywhere near the main lake.

Everybody was out on 7/3 - you couldn't park another car at the Mt Pleasant bridge(quite the traffic snarl too) and the same up at the Church Rd bridge. They were spilling out onto the road to park up there. Yak's everywhere!!!!!

 Glad you had some peace and some fish.

Just brought the boat back from up state and want to start learning this lake like I said I would. What's the boat traffic like during the weekday mornings? Are tournament nights still Thursday?

[rick99]

Not sure about traffic in the mornings but Tourneys are on Tuesday nights.

Wow I guess it's been a while since I've fished in those. Guess I'll have to get my butt outta bed and get over there at day break and find out.
