My brother and I hit Aurora today. Fished from a bout 7:30-1:00. Weather satrted out ok but just got worse. Cold, Wind and rain. Water temp was 58 everywhere we went. Total count was 2 trout, 1 Bass and about 40 perch. All the perch were caught on little jigs tipped w/ worms. I got the Trout and bass on a Minnow under a slip float. Trolled for alittle while and got a few bumps but that was it. As we were leaving the wind picked up and we nearly got stuck out there as one of our backup batterys was shot.
Jay, where on the lake did you catch the largemouth?
I've caught only small ones in the marina cove. All others have been smallmouth. How deep were the perch 15-20 ft? Looks like you had a pretty good day weather considering.
The perch were in 13-17ft of water. We'd drop down our jig to the bottom and bring it up a few ft. We just watched the sonar and as soon as we saw a cloud we knew we would get bit. As soon as the cloud was gone, so were the bites.
The bass was in about 10 ft. of water with the minnow about 8ft down from the float. All fish were caught in Senac cove on the SW side of it about half way in.
Nice fishing, Jay!
I'm still laid-up at home from the hip surgery, but once I can fully walk again, I want to try some shore fishing at Aurora.

The hot summer days and water levels going lower by the day and the crappies moving around after post spawn definitely made for a challenge finding them but persistence pays off!
I heard about the Arctic Grayling late last fall and I've been itching to target them...I went up with my buddy Remy and GF and had some GREAT SUCCESS!! Threw a wide variety of stuff with no action (for the graylings at least), we landed a big brown, some Brookies, some Colorado River Cutthroat...
Always wanted to figure the crappie and once I actually set out to do it I found hundreds! Limited out for the first time after trying for the whole month of June. Wasn't too hard once i honed in on the area where I located them. Fast forward 4 days later and today they were gone. Here is my...
Recently was up DEEP in the mountains fishing with my buddy...We came across a huge group of Colorado River Cutthroat Trout. We of course fished for them but we wanted to see if we could film them too. Luckily they were crowding around a small current provided by a little spring, flowing into...
