Fishing Lake Coleman (Sept 1)

Finally back on the water this morning after too long. The foot is better, but still not there yet.

I launched on Lake Coleman at about 7:00 AM, just as it was getting light. Of course the lake is full and this plus very little to no wind made for a beautiful early morning. I started up rattlesnake cove throwing everything I could think of - a buzz bait, a bleeding shad rattle trap, tried a little top water action, a yell0w/green crank bait, a red shad worm, and even a 1/4 ounce slab (at the sand bass popping the surface). No luck.

I ran back over to the south side in the first big cove and worked the main point with the crank bait and finally... I caught a small one, worked the tip of the point and caught a nice 2 pounder, finished working around the point and then came back tossing the worm - and caught another little one. I moved on further into the cove with the crank bait - and got another good one on the line... and broke him off. Of course I didn't have another crank bait of the same size and color (here I come Academy). I tried a larger size of the same color with no luck and another one the same size with red/yellow with no luck. I did manage to hook a couple more little ones throwing the bleeding shad rattle trap, but that was about it.

It was warming up by 11:00 and I promised to be home by noon so that was it for the day. It was to be back on the water.
