If the spawn here on Joe Pool Lake has happened or is happening the guys did not get dressed up for their role. I am not seeing any in a full tuxedo at my slips. I fished my slips and the rocks from 3 pm to 10 pm last night. I caught 12 from 3 pm to 5 pm in the slips, not a tux among them. They stopped biting in the slips at 5 pm. They started bitting in the rock area behind the slips at 7 pm and stopped at 8:30 pm. I caught five during that period, 3 nice sized, 2 small. The 2 small ones had just started to show a little color and had a ragged tail. So I'm hopeful for this afternoon and tonight.

I checked the normal spawn areas on the lake Saturday and did not see any fish, in the spawn areas or the nearby drop-off areas.

Saturday the water temperature was 48. Yesterday it was 56.

Am going out to try again in a couple of hours.
