Saguaro lake

[jaybird77]

Hit saguaro for the first time 6AM Friday morning. It was a little bit chilly to start things off, the water temp was higher than air temp. The water temp was about 63 degrees off the boat launch as well as the main body of the lake. The coves were about a degree warmer. It wasn't a banner day fishing but we did manage to eek out a few fish. The bass are all shallow sitting on their beds but they have all come down with lockjaw like they do at this time. It's frustrating to see so many bass, some that were real lunkers, and not have them interested in biting anything at all. The bluegill bite was just enough to keep us interested and on the lake. None were of any size but we scratched out about a dozen or so. I took home 9. They filleted out nicely but it wouldn't have bothered me to have had to spend a little more time at the sink cleaning them. All in all it wasnt a bad day. The wind did pick up a little around noon but we were pretty much done by then anyways. The only thing I wondered was that we never caught a crappie. Does anyone know if there are any numbers of them in there. I would have liked to have at least see one on the end of my line. I guess that just give me an excuse to go back again!
