Ok guys I'm wondering if it's worth burning a vacation day this week on Thursday and giving it a try. I'm thinking about taking the kayak out to Limestone Creek since the boat is in the shop having a power pack replaced. My big concerns are the cold weather and the water color/height. What are yall's thoughts?
Friday and forward would probably be better days. I would not burn a vacation day for Thursday. Just my 2 cents
More rain Friday and Saturday. I am not sure what would be terribly wrong with Thursday myself, especially if the sun shines the next few days. I would think Thursday afternoon could have some potential.
I was kind of thinking the same thing...looks like the temps will pick up a bit on Thursday and we are expecting more rain right after Thursday. I just hope the water isn't still really muddy and high.Quote:

On second shift that week so I had about 4-5 hours to kill and fishing didn’t interest me like Netflix did. I felt real good about catching a few but they’ll be there next time. But muddy water never deters me. High water( this particular area) during winter drawdown can be good.
Gonna be 55 and sunny with a 7 mph SSE wind water mark at 552. I ain't seen a day like that since November.

I think it would be okay for Thursday. A little bit of color will warm up better than clear water too, especially in Limestone.
I'm thinking of hitting it Thursday after work.

I wouldn't count on tva's posted lake levels.....Ive seen the report at 552 and found it at 555 or 6 a couple of times...…Quote:

Well I've been out here since 1 and I've got nothing but a couple of stripes. I guess that's why they call it fishing and not catching! Still better than not going.
I had planned on going today and my boss had other plans. LOL Glad you got to go and hope you had fun anyway. I wouldn’t have minded catching some stripes today...

I was on wheeler and it was still high and muddy. I think that cold front had them shut down.Quote:
