South Lake Fishing

[Azfishhabitat]

Spent the last week fishing around Gunsight, Labrynth and face canyon. My family and I rented a house boat and stayed in the back of gunsight. Fishing was amazing. Spent the first few days fishing with anchovies and Ned rigs. Caught too many stripers and smallmouth to count. Stripers were decent size, a lot in the 2-3 pound range. Smallmouth were mostly small in the 1/2-1 pound range. The rest of our trip I started throwing bigger baits. Switched to dark sleeper swimbaits, large jerkbaits and 6 inch zoom lizards. Got into larger fish. Caught a lot of 2-3 pound smallies, several largemouth in the 2-4 pound range, 19 walleye in the 1-3 pound range and several 4-5 pound stripers on the swimbaits And jerk baits. Water temps were in the 64-68 degree range for us. Stripers were slurping in the back of gunsight during the calm evenings as well, spent some time chasing those around and caught a few fish off the schools before they dove down.

Thank you for the info! Those are some toad SM & LM. We are headed down to Powell tomorrow and will be staying in Gunsight for the week. If I can catch a couple like some of these that would be legendary. Appreciate the tips and info! Cheers!
