We had so many nasty cold fronts in August with highs only in the sixties, that water temps were in the low seventies, but the warm spel lwe had last week brought it back up a little. It's been cool the last couple of nights with predicted lows inthe fifties for the rest of the week,so I expect to see another drop when we head out on Saturday.

Right now, we're finding plenty of fish from 5 to 8 feet deep in 14 feet of water along the west side of the channel, but the only ones we've caught so far in less than ten feet of water have been dinks, even early in the day. There was a huge shad spawn again this year and we think that may have contributed to the slow bite. = Roberta
