Default Too Much to Eat?


I have been camping for the past few days at a State park in P.A. Got there
Friday and left yesterday. I dragged the RLM with me and had a nice little
launch site below the camp site. Got to fish every day and caught everything
from a small musky to a huge crappie and a bunch of bass and a big old frog.
No size to the bass and not knowing the lake I figured most of the bigger
bass were in deeper water. I did however find a nice cove loaded with weeds
and lilly pads...and about 4 million dragonflies. Big fish were busting
these flies all around me. I could however not connect with a single fish
there. I tried poppers, buzzbaits, speedworms, drop shots, craws, senkos,
spinnerbaits, horny toads and well you get the picture. I'm sure if I had a
"Hover Lure" I would have killed them.

Question" Lack of catching any quality fish in this area due to too many
dragonflies? This seemed like it was all they would go after. I did catch
some bigger fish in the 2+ range but all held to stumps or some sort of
cover out of the heat and away from that area, tons of 12-13 inch fish were
easily located on the shoreline pads and stumps. I'd love to go back there
soon and was wondering what you would try to catch some of these fish?
