Mike & I fished Tara Lake Saturday afternoon.  Air temp was mid 50’s with a light wind and sunny skies.  Just a beautiful afternoon.  Water temp was 57-60 degrees.  Water clarity was 6”-12”.  We had a great afternoon of fishing.  We caught 37 fish.  The biggest was 8 lbs.  Next biggest was 6 lbs.  We also caught seven that went 5 lbs and eight in the 4 lb range plus three huge crappies.  The bigger fish were really fat.  We caught a few dinks.  A waky rigged senko was what worked best around all the brush piles and between them.  Most fish we caught were in 6’-8’.  The other thing that was fun is I went way up the creek on the left.  Was surprised it was 3’-6’ in depth all the way back to a fence.  Didn’t catch any fish back there, but saw three hude otters play around and about 50-60 turtles sunny theselves up on one of the banks.  Also appreciate the boat ramp. Makes it very easy for us to launch and recover our little boats.  Mike had a nice chat with the landowner in the way in.  A real nice guy.  This is a beautiful property and a fun lake to fish.
