Finally got to fish yesterday, been sick for about a month now and just now kicking the crud... tried for jacks but nothing doing so decided to try the lock wall for crappie there was a ton of baitfish there caught probably 100 stripe and 6 crappie. Three was shorts 3 that would keep was fat I’m assuming gorging on those shad. Crappie caught about 6 ft deep all released. Just glad I finally got to get on the water. Water is way down also.

Glad you got to make it out and are about over the crud .you did better than me I made it out last night from 6-8 with only 1 lite tap bait was everywhere but fish weren’t active. Water temp was 36.9
Glad you got out. Sometimes just catching anything makes for a good day.

Glad you got out for a while.
Always stripe at or below the dam, but I have never seen it this low in mid winter , both below the dam and above . Much lower and should be able to just pick them up out the holes left with water:Rofl
Glad you got out. I’ve had a bad case of fair weather fisherman last few weeks
Glad you are feeling better and got a chance to catch a few!
Does anybody know why they have it so low? I was talking to another guy about that this week. He wanted to fish a marina but the water is so low that there is barely enough in there to float the boats, much less hold fish. I don't know if they're working on something at the Dam, or what the deal is but I can't remember it being this low this time of year.Quote:

I'm not gonna meet you there in the 12 degree wind chill, but I'll be looking forward to your report. LOL
Hahahahaha brad I don’t think I’m gonna be out there with the cold and wind being as high as it will be. And I think the low water levels is messing with the jacks too. The crud ain’t even the word upper respiratory infection bronchitis then got the stomach flu it’s been crazy.

Glad you're doing better.
Me too bud. This cold snap and wind would be on my weekend off though. Was gonna hunt but forget that. And too cold to fish.

Glad you got out. Sometimes it feels like it's been forever when you're fighting of the crud etc. Been down with a bum ankle the last 6 weeks. I need to get out and blow the stink off me too.
Wouldn't take long to blow the stink off you today Bob. Go for it. rotflQuote:
