HOBO, did you check any deep water structure?
Earl the last picture was in 40 foot of water some of the big trees had some. I did not find a ton of fish like 3 weeks ago. I fished for about two hours total Thursday no big fish I caught fish trolling and one pole jigging, trolling in shallow water, one pole in deep water. the second picture I put the pvc tree in Thursday ad to take a picture that in 15 feet the tree was about 6 feet tall.
Thanks for report Hobo. It sounds just like what I've experienced this summer. The last good day of fishing we had was on Monday June 29. Jim and I caught 19 keeper fish slow trolling with minnows. That day the water was 80-82 when we started and 86 when we finished. On July 2, I long line trolled from 6:00 until noon and kept 11 good fish. The water was 83 degrees when I started that morning. Since then I think the most fish keeper fish we have caught was 10-11. The last trip Aug 18, we caught 8-10 small fish. We found some fish but not like last summer. This year we have not been able to find the fish piled up in the usual places like Mansion Cove, Reynolds, Preachers and Salem. When we do find them they are either small or have lock jaw. I hope this is not an indication of what this Fall will be like. This may be a good year to spend more time bow hunting.
