Fishing Report – Crescent Lake

May 10,2013

Weather, clear, light SW winds

Fished 7:45-10.45 AM

Location: Crescent Lake, Flagler County Florida

Catch: (25) Specks, (1) Redbreast Bream, (Lost 6-8)

We were not fishing from our kayaks this morning due to the location that we wanted to fish was just to far from a launch so we cheated a little and put in afriends power boat and ran about 3 miles up the lake.  Our destination was  a little spot of  bonnets where another friend had shared some intel that he had caught some really nice Specks this week.

We were jig fishing with some very small 1/32 oz. jigs with rubber tube skirts. in3-4′ of water. The bite was pretty decent thought the fish were a little smaller than our friend had caught. The water clarity was has gone up, I expect from all the rain we had last weekend. The water was pretty high and backed out into the woods. I typically do not find that good fishing as the fish tend to be out there in the newly flooded areas looking for food.

We tried a little fly rod fishing with popping bugs but did not draw even a looker.

We did find a number of fresh looking fish beds along the grass line edges. They were single isolated beds, I expect they were Bass though it sounds late for them at this point.

We going to switch over to saltwater in the morning and head for Mosquito Lagoon.
