The weather has been beautiful and the lake is open. Many people hit the water this weekend to enjoy the lake and do some fishing.

Most anglers caught fish, but the bite was a little tough. The lake is still in transition from summer to fall.

The trout have moved closer to the surface and are even breaking the surface frequently in the pursuit of small clusters of shad. The shad are on the small side, so be sure to down size your bait to match the hatch.

Here are a few favorite micro baits that can be fished on a downrigger, diving plane, on leadcore, or top lined.

Pictured Above: The F5 Rapala is a great little bait that has been a proven fish catcher for years.

Photo #1: Strike King makes a square billed crank bait that has alot of action.

Photo #2: A Bill Lewis Tiny Trap can be trolled at high speeds and has rattles that draw fish from a distance.

Photo #3:Kastmasters are great for casting but they also work really well when used for trolling.

Photo #4:The Cop Car colored Needlefish catches multiple limits of trout each year.

Try some of these micro baits next time your on the water.

Thanks, Good Luck- from all of us at Glory Hole Sports
