cedar bluff Fishing Report

Cedar Bluff

Well went out to the lake with a friend and his kids on Sunday May 22, 2011 in the mid afternoon, He had his boat at cedar bluff worked on and wanted to try it before bringing it home. well we got the boat in the water and headed to the main part of the lake. the boat idled well, which is what the problem before was. (it wouldn't idle). well the guy at the boat shop got it idling pretty good. well the boat ran well all afternoon. it ran about 42 mph at W.O.T. and idled at about 1m.p.h so we started trolling. we used different baits to troll, some of us used deep diving cranks and some shallow cranks. the shallow crankbait seemed to get all the hits for awhile catching the first fish. it was a fairly nice white bass that his daughter and son both shared the catch. then it got about 2 to 3 more hits but his daughter missed them. well we trolled for about an hour more with no luck. so we came across a drop off that was showing a bunch of fish on the backside of it. so we tied off to a tree. well we fished that area for the rest of the evening and came away with 2 bluegill, 2 nice crappie, and of course one carp which was not kept. it was a good fun night and the weather was perfect. Looking for the next time we can go out and enjoy some more fishing.
