First Trip To Horseshoe Lake
I got a late start on the day as i was off going duty and did not hit the lake till about noon. There were a decent amount of people fishing the shore and about 5-6 boats and tubes out on the water. The people at the dock cleared as i pulled up to launch and then took the spot back once i was clear. I started off tossing the new kvd 1.0 square bill in bluegill that i had just picked up and got a stocked rainbow almost immediately. I felt this was going to be any easy lake to dial in and hammer them. Well it did not work out that way and i got 5 fish total and only two on the same bait. I got three rainbows all small about 10" and two bass. The one i landed was only about 10" also and i dropped a 4ish pound bass right at the side of my yak. He jumped and the hook popped right out. All of my fish were caught on 6lb test and it seems that is the only line i can get bit on. Threw a bunch of other baits on my casting setup with 10lb and only got one bump. Things may change a little when the vegetation builds up a little but finesse seems to be the only way here.
