I think the thread title should have been, "Poverty Trip Pointless", because it was that bad. Fished from 9:15 till 3:30 and caught one 4 lb goo. Only had two other bumps....talked to two other boats who were using shiners and they had caught only one spec in each boat.Water temperature was 51 degrees and color looked good. Lake is probably 18-24 inches high. I could see a solid cloud of shad starting at 10-11 feet extending all the way to the bottom and occasionally action flipping on top. I think the resident Pelicans were the only fishermen who caught anything yesterday....total of four trucks on the south ramp. I should have taken that clue more seriously before deciding to launch, but I've never been accused of making smart decisions when it comes to fishing.....lol
