May want to be getting on um. Should be some good bite days coming up next 6 days in the eastern part of the state. Cept for changing drawdowns, patterns should really stabilize. I'm gonna put the hammer down. Get some time.

good plan duck BUTT theselake levels the way they are don't know how they will stabilize? always like that get some time let us know how you do?
Is this a serious post? My forecast says severe thunderstorms through Monday? I figured this post was going to advise people to check the weather and be cautious before heading out. With current lake levels and more inflow coming the only thing that will be good is the catfishing and standing shoulder to shoulder at the tubes.Quote:

I'm all about getting on them but I've never been mad enough at those fish to put myself or my equipment in danger to catch them. If going out this weekend be smart watch the weather and have a way to get updates on weather. Pay attention on the water probably a whole bunch of floating debris not need to have to by a new prop of lower unit.
What I'm seeing is the day high and lows about the same for the next week with rain everyday. No sign of big fronts and weather changes. Had high water long enough, that ya should be pretty dialed in on your high water spots. Lot of low light conditions. Like today. Heavy clouds, radar says rain may reach us around 2. This morning looked great for eyes. Watch the radar, don't take chances. Haven't fished in the rain, just drizzle, but caught real good fish this week both before and after the rain.Quote:

I made it out this afternoon as well. Bite was good left when the rain came. Will make it out tomorrow weather permitting.
Morning bite was real good till the 11am rain. Bite was good in the rain then dropped off after the rain around 1pm.
Really pounced on um today. Got home, found we had 2 27"s. Did maybe 70 today, between 8am and 2pm. Prob 50 casting, rest off the wire, running a 4ft split at 15, taking um high and low. Dipsey around 14 also was getting hit hard. Most fish 21" to 25". Saw a big one swallow bout a 7 crappie on the surface today.

Are these white bass from Hillsdale or Clinton or somewhere else? 21-25 inch white bass are very nice and have to be a blast to catch!!
Wish I knew where to get +20" WB in KS. Those are Wipers. Weather pattern appears broke with 90s and no rain for the weekend. Group scheduled for tomorrow never fished out of a boat before. Should be interesting. Couple lakes really dropped some this week. Good luck.
sorry about thinking those were white bass because those would definitely be records here in kansas....must've had a brain fart :Doh: Good luck with your new fishers!
Pattern has definitely changed. High water bite wasn't there this morning. Fish were scattered and moving. Managed maybe 30 big fish. Big fish 25" bonus eye went 27". Kid had that big kid smile going on with every fish. Saw 5 doubles, couple triples. Couldn't get dialed down. Guys are hooked up on 22"s in the bottom pics.
