Soo at what level do they open the high water ramps?
Eagle ramp has water just touching the bottom of the high water ramp. will need at least 5 more feet to use it
Depends on when the water down south goes down.
610 I believe.
Shelby was 606 this morning, crest at 608.5 the 25th. Unless it rains. Forecast is not favorable for dry weather.
610 is usually when they open the high water ramps.
What is the over/under on it reaching that this year? Or...does anyone have July 10th in the pool as to the date that it reaches that? Betting the waterfowl areas will have water in them soon if not already....great.....
All our waterfowl area where I live are under water, Again!:deadhorse
Hanging out in the camp ground will check it out in the morning. Going to push/ pull cranks I guess

Well it is what it is. Bout like last May but muddy. Windy and lots of pleasure boaters out adding to the chop. We managed 5 kept 2 pushing cranks 10-12 ft down lost 2 cranks but you'll have that going out Early tomorrow hope to do better May go catch up with zettler for some night fishing
Guys you might not be getting deep enough with your cranks. The fish are very very hungry right now.. most of the fish im catching are 13-20ft deep over deeper water. Caught probably 80 or so in just 4 hours yesterday.
Bird and all,
I went over late Saturday as I was going after catfish during the night (my bad, no success) but using minnows did well on brush in depths 20'+ and getting them down as deep as I could. Lost several nice ones at boat (didn't use net) but managed a limit by noon - all in one area.
I was just lucky on them for my nighttime expedition was a bust...

It was a pain too, as my transducer went out and all I could do was try and look at one on my console...
Also, I only had one marker buoy and it's line was maybe 25'!!
GoBob, I will be back over this weekend and hope to try juging for the first time. Any suggestions out there are appreciated, as to bait, etc. I am going to try noodles instead of jugs.
Nice job Bob.
It is right now at 609.6 and is "suppose" to crest on 7/3 at 610.59...

You "Da Man" Bob, but I can't believe that you are using minnows>>>
I like noodles, 18" long, tie string to one end. Will stand up when bit. Push a piece of ½" PVC through it, cap other end. Wrap reflective tape around it, shows up real good.
As for bait, use a throw net for shad, if legal their. Otherwise bait shrimp on an octopus or circle hook, i get them confused. They self impale a lot better. On fingers also!
Jerry, as Mean Green reminds me ALL the time that even a blind squirrel will find a nut occasionally, I just got lucky all things considered.
I already bought noodles but why the PVC?
Nicely done Bob. Hey what is the name of that plastics company you put me onto? The garlic infused ones. I can't remember. I got them at Scheels after you told me about them, but I know they have a website.
Draper Soft Plastics.
go to their Facebook page for ordering.
Thanks Birdman I'll give that a shot this weekend. I was catching some shorts at 8-10 ft in 20- 30 fow Lost a couple cranks so I was hesitant to go deeper. Still learning the lakeQuote:
