Hot Sun and Green Algae

Man it’s freaking hot this year :? ?? :  The green algae is showing itself around these parts but not at all waters. I fished at 4 or 5 lakes on Wednesday and one was very green and one of the others only 20 minutes away was absolutely crystal clear.

The first 2 photos below are from the “green” lake where I actually caught the most fish….so it seems that the algae doesn’t bother the fish too much although I found they were hitting my frogs a bit short, maybe a visibility thing.

   

Most of my bass were caught on frogs from 3″ to 5″ monster fogs that I got from the UB sponsors. The 2 fish below were caught on a black cherry vibrashock and my favorite Neko rig.

    Nice going Steve! It’s also nice to see that mother nature isn’t just punishing us northerners with the green algae.

    The river is really getting bad near shore. I *think* that, plus the low water levels and warm temps have driven the bigger ones deep. All I’ve caught in the last week are small ones. I think it is time to give the river a break till fall…and I know I can sure use the sleep :smile:
