I braved it today, had the lake to myself fished from 10-3 and had ZERO luck I wasnt able to find the shad looked all over the south end, will rogers, hawthorne, island off redbud, motored over to blue creek but the wind kept us from the bank I like to fish but there weren't any shad there anyway. COLD!!! Went to blue creek to put in and the ramp was frozen solid. Walked 10 feet out on the ice from the ramp and not even a crack had to be 6-12 inches thick. Only place I could put in was the Dam which was no problem. Had to dodge a couple sheets of floating ice. Brett, a buddy of mine was brave enough to take on the tough conditions. Wish we would have found the shad. I am thinking the bitter cold night may have changed their pattern a little. Guess that's why they call it fishing and not catching. Will give them a few days to adjust and go after them again. Water temp was 37-38 which is a little colder than last week. Good luck to all who brave it. It sure beat sitting at home.
