mostly 10 feet deep in 20ft, or more of water. caught a few in 13, 14 feet. longlined jigs two days. didn't use minnows. talked to severals guys sitting fishing minnows who said it was slow. saw a bunch of boats fishing minnows out from the mouth of harvey mill creek in the channel.

Any boats on the flats and channels running from Freemans to Blounts? Seems like all this cold weather they should be there. But than again, it changes from year to year at times.

almost none. they were there earlier in the year, but i believe that big 9-10 rain we had back, in what december, and then another 3 inch rain changed things.
and, the cool weather and muddy water has slowed things down. water is still only 51-52 degrees. pattern definitely different than last year, so far.

Well, I'll normally down there by now but due to issues at work, been working 6 days a week since 1 Jan. I'm heading down Tuesday regardless of work/weather. Cutting off my cell phone, bringing plenty of adult beverages and I might not come back!:bash:bash:bash:bash

27 Thursday night and Sunday in twenties again. Rainy Tuesday with lows in 30s through next week. I'm glad I got training next week. I will wait till it settles down. By the way there was only one boat south of Freeman from 10am til lunch and I heard they filled a 48 quart ice chest fishing near bottom.:biggrin

Water flows north to south except for St. John's. South is from Freeman to dam. Southwest to be a little closer.

Decent fish. I have seen very few over 1.5. Nothing to brag about. The businesses would like people to believe they have turned on but it's still hit or miss and slow. Still fishing very deep with #4 split and #2 gold hook tipped with large minnow in channel. Really doesn't matter what end of the lake either.

I heard a couple over 2.5lbs in size have been brought in.

If its a lie I am only repeating it.:biggrin

Should be some that size out there now but they are not jumping in the boat. Culling through a lot of fish to get a 12 inch limit. I personally haven't caught a true 2.5 since March or April of last year on Talquin. I just saying don't expect to 7 fish equal much over 12 pounds yet. Though, a couple decent days of weather and it will be on. I hate for some to shoot before the fish are really in the barrel. Or waste there only week of vacation too early.
