Carters Lake
Temp 52
Level -3′
Clarity 10ft
We had the best February walleye bite we have ever seen . Lots and I mean lots of fish were caught in the last few weeks. Trolling and jigging were both super productive and should stay steady for the next week or so . Finding fish under bait balls has been the go to pattern but thats pretty typical for Carters Lake especially this time of year . We have seen good avg size 20 to 24″ fish and sime bigger fish in the 26 to 28 ” range .Our best bite has been on a jigging spoon working the fish that are just off the bottom in 55 to 60ft of water . Again having bait around really helps as the fish are already ” in the mood ” . Look for the night bite to fire up this Month too. As the bait gets ready to spawn it will start to move up on shallow rocky structures under the cover of darkness. You can bet the big walleyes will follow them. Casting to the shoreline disruptions made by both bait and feeding fish is a great way to put some bigEyes in the boat . We switch to all night trips when this happens and will target the night time feeding pattern till early April to maximize catch rates . This is a great time of year to book a night trip.
The striper bite has been really solid all winter and has picked up even more in the last week or so as the temps bump the 50 deg mark . We have been trolling Mini Macks and single bucktails from Capt Mack with great results seeing fish from 10 to 23lbs recently clobbering the smaller wire frames of the urigs . 25 to 30ft has been the targeted zone for the past few weeks and I imagine that to be the case for the next few weeks as well.
