Biolab Topwater Fishing

I was planning on doing some Biolab topwater fishing this week and after receiving this fishing report from David Holbrook, I'm sure I will be out there before the weeks end.

"Hi John -

As always, great to see your reports.  I've been wading Biolab on a more regular basis the last couple months.  Enough success to stay interested... January and early Feb. consistently seemed to get 4 or 5 trout in the 16 - 19 range on each trip, a rat red mixed in here and there.  Nearly all the trout have been on topwater, the rats on plastics.

Last time at Biolab was a couple weeks ago, 2/10, just after sunrise, on the north end of the road.  Got the red in the attached pic - just shy of 22". Threw a spook jr. for about an hour and a half that morning... had 3 more big blowups but couldn't get another hooked up.  

Hopefully going to get out Sat. am. (although the wind forecast doesn't look to promising at the moment)

As long as the weeds aren't a problem, topwater fishing is my "go to" method for catching fish.  A gold Johnson's Sprite or other weedless spoon is next, and lifelike plastics last.

It all depends on the depth of the water and the amount of sea grasses floating on the surface.

When the March winds hit us, drowning a live bait is the last, but often most productive option.

Till next time,

Tight Lines.
