The lake is down pretty good now and they’re still pulling water. The fish only have one option right now. Deep water. I went out this morning to see if I could find some spots. It’s tough with heavy wind blowing and swirling in the deeper coves. I still caught some fish. Ten crappies and 5 perch. Only brought home 4 big crappies tho. Duck hunter was too close to my favorite spot for this time of year and when I came back later, wind was up too high to fish in the cold. Didn’t get a bite there. Only fished 10 minutes or so. Hopefully headed back tomorrow if the winds aren’t too cold to fish in. I’m not a young whippersnapper anymore. Can’t take the cold like I used too.
They consider winter pool depth at 7' 9" below summer pool.

Filled a 20 gallon tub to the top with stuff I didn’t use at all this season. Put my six Lake Erie rod holders in there too. I’ll dig them out next season when I need them. Bet I had over forty pounds of stuff in this tub. And had 5 rods stored in my side storage that I took out too. Never picked one up this season. Enjoy your holidays and I’ll hopefully see you next year.Quote:

What a mess. Water looked like chocolate milk today in every area I fished. I managed to put 16 in the boat with nine being keepers. Dark colors worked best. Not many shoreline blowdowns still in the water but I found two and they both produced nice fish. Wind was a big factor today, again. Didn’t see another boat all day. Might head out again tomorrow morning as the wind won’t be a big factor then. Will post if I go.Quote:

They are pulling water so fast that the lake is chocolate milk right now. As big as the lake is, it dropped half a foot in one day. Don’t know how much ramp we have left now.Quote:

7 1/2 ft below summer pool :dono . Can probably walk across the lake bottom at Parkers landing area. If I get out tomorrow, I’ll take some pics of how low the lake is. Unbelievable how many points are in this lake dropping into the river channel. Even in the Mahaney area of the lake. Hope I can still get my boat in safely.Quote:

Decided not to go today. Think I’ll put my boat away this weekend.Quote:

I’m glad they’ve finally slowed the flow down. Lake wasn’t as chocolate as it was last week. Bite was much better.Quote:

The bite was good again today. Same area, same baits, same results. Kept a limit of good size eaters out of over fifty caught.

The fishing was good again today. Caught over 50 crappies. Most were small but still fun to watch that bobber disappear. Fished shallow. Four foot deep in eight foot water. Itty bit slab hunters were the ticket.Quote:
