10/15/11 - Webster Lake Pre-Fishing
I got out with John, the Club President for Avid Anglers, for about 6 hours(745am-145pm) of prefishing(about 3 hours of actual fishing) . Mid-October and the water temps are still 62-65 degrees and the weeds and grass are still looking healthy. Wind was definitely a factor 15-20mph, gust to 30 at times. We idled around alot trying to locate bait fish, not much to be found. I wont give any of his spots, Ill just tell ya what we caught. I caught a Bluegill in about 12ft of water on a dropshot, a 1lb Smallmouth in about 20ft on the dropshot, and I get a lesson on Carolina Rigging, and caught my 1st fish on this technique, about a 2lb Largemouth dragging grass flats. John got a 2-1/4 Smallie, another 1lb Smallie, and 3 or so Largemouth in the 1lb range.
