Fished Lake Gaston once again in advance of my club's two-day tournament on April 11th and 12th. Water levels rose and water temps dropped following a few frigid mornings,, several inches of rain, and a significant release of water from Kerr Lake. The heavily stained water moved fish tight to cover, and I found largemouth bass hanging tight against the shallowest dock pilings I could find in the back of creeks and main lake pockets. I caught several on an unweighted, Texas-rigged 4' Yum Dinger in black with blue flake. I never felt the bites. I simply had to watch my line for signs of movement, and I was able to catch a nice limit.
