Big Lake Reports

West Cove was dead last Saturday.

What part are you going?

Was going to take off tomorrow and fish there but wind is gonna be kicking. Not a whole lot of good reports on trout

Caught 2 limits of nice trout a couple weeks on the east side on mirrodines.

Went to the same area a few days ago and only caught 1 trout. Ended up catching 5 reds and 3 nice trout along the ship channel rocks using a shallow diving crankbait. That's always my go to when I'm out of ideas and usually good for a couple reds. I imagine live bait would do better but I never mess with it.

Water in the lake looked good earlier this week and West cove looked better the further away you got. from the channel

SE@13 today so I fished north with zero to show. Good water in lake, birds picked last Saturday so it’s close to busting wide open. Plenty bait up north along with dolphins in ship channel. Wind will be the factor for catching until July.

I have a couple of buddies fishing down there today, one is a guide. Only 7 fish caught between two boats. It's going to turn on soon. I bet it'll be next weekend since I can't fish.

Still headed up tonight. My guide buddy said this morning between him and his one customer they caught 9 trout, 6 reds, and one flounder. Also said 4 of their 9 trout were above 3 pounds. Birds were somewhat working, but spotty. Should bust wide open any day now.

Got a buddy right now at West Cove with 13 trout, 2 drum and 1 red on shrimp. Wind blowing very strong, so that means they are probably on South shore somewhere.
