When I was fishing from the bank all the time I had the best luck under the west bridge. The channel runs threw that one. The east bridge is just an overflow bridge with no defined channel. I would slip cork jigs on the east side of the channel casting as close to the east piers as possible. Had most of my biggest fish come in this area in the hot dog days of summer. Something about the shade

: Anyone catching anything lately? I've been working to much lately and havent made it out there!! This has got to stop!! banghead

I'll be hitting it this weekend and will report back. Haven't been able to fish in three weeks due to work as well as being sick last week. Haven't had any luck at T-Bird the last two trips except a couple of small largemouths and 3 or so dinks.

Hit the bird this morning for a few hours by boat. Fished only half of that or so. Bite was a little slow but there. Landed only 3 keepers. Had a 4th one but he slipped the hook on the way into the boat. Biggest was 11". All caught in only 3 FOW! Had many more bites. Would have loved to fish more but my friend tends to want to speed around the lake in his boat. Keeping him focused is becoming more trouble than what it's worth. Looking forward to next year when momma lets me get a lil crappie catching boat so I can solely focus on what I'm there for, FISH.

Did you use a floating light or a lantern above the water, anything to light up the water?

If so do you think it helps? My wife and I have been catching our limits during the day, thinking about going at night!

Look at this lunker my co-workers friend caught at the Little Marina this past week.

I've seen several good size bass caught around the marina since it opened back up last year. One almost dragged the 3 yr old that hooked it with her barbie pole into the water! Luckily her dad was sitting next to her and grabbed her and the pole!

When the heat subsides I will be out there giving the crappie and cats heck. Can't wait!!!
