Weather and Conditions We hit the lake on a cold day, with the wind coming out of the north at about 10 to 15 mph. It was a brisk 22 degrees when we launched around noon. The ramp had a thin layer of ice, but we managed to get in just fine. The Bite and Tactics Fish were active right from the start. We were catching plenty of fish in the 2-3 pound range, and after a bit of searching, we found a slightly bigger class of fish in the 3 to 3.25 pound range. The main lure doing the work early on was a jerkbait. We didn’t have to slow down the retrieve much, the fish were surprisingly aggressive given the cold water. Most of them were hanging from the bank out to brush in about 10 feet of water. As the evening rolled in, we switched over to an Alabama rig and found a bunch of fish suspended on points and around brush piles, feeding heavily just before dark. Watching them on the LiveScope, we had a blast seeing them come up and crush the rig. Results and Highlights It was a memorable trip with my buddy Greg. I landed a solid 6-pounder, and he got one just shy of 4 pounds. Altogether, our best five fish would have gone around 20 pounds. If you’re planning to hit Pomme de Terre Lake soon, definitely bring your jerkbaits and Alabama rigs the fish are fired up and feeding!
