| "NEW Cave Run Lake Report Sept. 24, 2004"
September 24, 2004
WATER LEVEL: 13' Feet Above Summer Pool
WATER TEMP: 78 Degrees Surface-78 Degrees
WATER CLARITY: Clear
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scott's Creek, Alfrey, & Poppin' Rock are the only ramps open today.
BASIC INFORMATION:
MUSKIE:
Muskie Fishing had slowed due to High Water, until today. Continue to fish in the backs of hollows / coves as far back as you possibly can........although from most reports the Muskies are in the shallow waters where it's next to impossible to reach them. Lake levels are holding steady until the Ohio River subsides and then the Corp. of Engineers will begin to release water from Cave Run Lake. We hope that it will be a slow release and not disrupt normal fishing patterns.
BASS: Plastic worms and lizards in 5 to 15' feet; Flukes & Carolina-Rigs have been producing well. Night time has been the best bite. (Still no change)
CRAPPIE: Holding to submerged cover @ 10' to 12' feet.....Live Minnows have been the biggest producers escpecially at night.
TECHNIQUE & SUGGESTED LURES:
Slippery Sams, Bull Dawgs & 1 oz.Spinnerbaits have been the ticket! You want to concentrate fishing in 10' feet of water to 1' foot of water. Fish real tight to cover and get back into the bushes and tree tops.
Crank you Spinner baits a little slower than you normally would right now and try pitching out a topwater lure in the mornings and late eveings. I suggest Top Raiders and buzzbaits. While throwing Top Water lures be sure to have a very slow retrieve. We've also caught a few of our Muskies on the Super Stalker & Super Believer crankbaits with rubber tails; an absolute Must Have Lure for any Musky Fisherman.
Special Note: As the lake level rises, just keep moving on back into the brush.
Trolling over the weeds using medium running crank baits while short-lining (10' to 12' of line out), and the 10" Believers by Drifter Tackle, Little Ernies Super Stalkers, & Super Beiliverstrolled at the end of your prop wash have all been producing well. **Ziplo Flats have given up several fish lateley*
We sell FISHING/HUNTING LICENSE & Parking Permits (Cash Only)
Huge Supply of:
SUPER STALKERS, SUPER BELIEVERS, TOP RAIDERS (Bucher Tackle) SLIPPERY SAMS (SuperSlayer) BULLDAWGS - SHALLOW INVADERS, - DEEP INVADERS
