Wilson lake Fishing Report

Wilson, March 19, 2011

Well finally a friend and i got to take the boat out for the first time since winter has gone. Although it was only for a few hours. We really shouldn't have went, the weather was cold, windy, cloudy and had a 40 percent chance for thunderstorms, but we both were tired of waiting for decent weather. cabin fever had definately set in. Well we get to the lake and get the boat unhooked and get it in the water after talking with one guy at the boat ramp who was leaving. we asked him if he had any luck and he told us not really. just one fish early in the morning. It was 5pm when we talked to him. but he did catch about a 5 pound channel and told us where at. so we decided to try that first. well we fished that area for about 30-45 minutes, we would have fished it longer but headed back to the boat ramp to load it up since the area we were fishing had started to get some lightning flashes near us.
Well we weren't the only ones loading up. Well after that we were just going to go and fish the other side of the lake since it was clear on the northeast side of the lake. so we decided to just load and drive to the other side of the lake since it is quicker since my boat is not that fast. We knew that the walleye were coming into prestage for the spawn so we decided to fish the dam and area off of the dam to see about hitting some walleye. the water temp was only 40.1 degrees. the water was extremely clear. We fished it for about 1 and a half hours without a single bite. so we decided it was enough. and since it was about 8:30 or so the light was disappearing and the wind was blowing even harder and the temp had dropped to about 30 degrees and we were not dressed real warm so we just came home. Of course with no fish. but that is o.k. there will another day.
