Well with the lake being 8 1/2' low there isn't anything that I put in the water thats deeper than 16' now....I fished some trees today in 35' to 45' and caught a few...But I would say if you could find something in the 16' to 24' DOW close to the channel break thats the ticket....Ranger
Great report Ranger! I am going this weekend and see if I can't get some more of those Dinks out of your way!
Went fishing this morning, rough sledding unless you wanted dinks or Magnum sandbass!! It was a terrific morning!! Ranger I have also wondered about the turbidity of the water the last few times. Saw a great school of fish, on FF looked just like crappie until I pulled up big old sandys! All kinds of Loons, grebes, and pelican still on the lake.
Kirk I really believe that the lake is turning over alittle. It had that smell to the water last Monday. Especially on the upper end. After you got below Pettit it kinda went away. I was also told that Gibson was doing the samething on the lower end but not for sure cause I haven't been on the water since last Monday nursing a Sinus Infection. I am ready to give the darn thing to someone else right about now. Has caused me 2 trips so far but thats life. The Loons will stay but the other birds will vamoose when it turns cold.....Ranger
That's a good thought Ranger, I figured that was already over but I know zip about lake turnover. Best theory I have heard so far!
Fished yesterday, bite was a little slow early but picked up in the afternoon, ended up with 23 keepers and about 50-60 throwbacks, most fish was caught on minnow minders and slab slayers
Glad you got into them!! I should be going this weekend thru the 2nd or so. With this cold weather I hope to find them stacked up!!! What was the water temp ?
I didn't even pay attention to what the temp was
Got on the water way late, caught a couple nice fish and figured out the plan for tommorrow! Took most of the time I had, to get away from the dinks. Water temp 45. Blue thunder was preferred today.
Kirk those dinks are our friends- the future of our mutual obsession. When I catch one I put an extra minnow in it's mouth and send it back home with good memories of our association. My intent is to train them to trust that I will always feed em and send em home to momma. So far I have built up a lot of good will among the youngsters but the payoff is slow coming.
