Title: Hardy Dam
Post by: gmetime24 on June 30, 2010, 07:50:46 PM
Anyone been out on hardy lately? If so any reports on what parts of the lake fish are biting would be great. Going camping for the 4th and will be on the water early to avoid traffic..any tips are appreciated!

Don't throw anything expensive around the weeds. Lots of pike!

Have you caught any big pike?...all the ones I normally catch at hardy are around 20-22 inches

get near the right weeds and it will be no problem getting some 3+ footers .... can you get my jerkbaits back to me when you catch them?

I'm going there tonight for a tournament.  I'll report tomorrow what I found.

if you want pike, go to the windiest shoreline of the lake and throw a spinnerbait.

I don't want pike but they are fun to catch when I can't get the bass to hit. Do you guys have more success north or south of big bend. I have caught lots of pike in the weeds near the island and to the north on the east side just past the cove but never any 3+ footers...most definitely want some big smallies tho

I've seen the bigger ones mostly early in the season so they are there. The little baby missiles probably just beat the bigger ones to the lure most of the time.
