water sure is low in these parts

makes it a tough go for sure , saddens me to see it this low , lots of small ponds have dried up and some of the spots I like are 5 foot low or more , sure is a tough program .
found them cooperative in a few spots and managed to ketch some good ones , no really small sunfish in the mix , just decent to large fish , bite was tough to get though and if it don't start raining enough to bring the water back up soon a few places I like might go south ....:banghead
most of the fish bit with determination and there wasnt much of a think its a bite , used a float mostly and also managed a few just pitching my jig and dragging it without a float . worthy of mention was seeing a real large bluegill strike at my jig close to a weedline and miss it , sure looked like a big ole doggy ....
until I chase the sunfish again , here are a few images
KABOOM is the word btw ...

some small bass also had to get in on the bite too, not wanted but willing they were ....:Rofl

Honestly I think you could still catch fish in the dried up ponds…..lol.

KABOOM!

Looks like rain is in the forecast all this week in Texas. We could really use it because these lakes are hurting.

Agree with Dave!

Nice looking fish, Ketchn. We’re in drought conditions here in PA as well. Went out this am and if I hadn’t been using a float I would have lost a ton of jigs in the rocky bottom.:(

Bob, I hear you I’m dealing with heavy vegetation that grows out control every year during this hot months and my only go to rig Float-N-fly or long drop shot with very small split shot that won’t get tangled under. An inconvenience I don’t mind facing as long as the fishes still biting. Cheers!

Hope y’all get some rain soon. The St Johns is running backwards from our lack of rain

Hope y'all get some much needed rain also. Surely a lot to thirsty livestock down there

Looks like we gotten 7 inches so far and it is still coming down. It's a welcomed site in my eyes. I feel sorry for those who have been affected by the flash floods.

It sure did come down in buckets today. Hopefully water levels will respond.

Hope everyone wasn’t flash flooded. Saw the national forecast that called for some more too. Glad the relief found y’all.

Looks like the rain came in buckets.
Hopefully safe from all the flooding.

you aint never so many stranded vehicles as in downtown ft worth the other day , the road was flat out littered with them , the streets ran water like rivers , not kidding :banghead

Grainraiser is sure right about needing the rain in Texas.Im in north centralish Texas and the lake I love to fish around this on particular dock that was about 6 and a half feet deep and held good keeper crappie and big old bluegill is now in about 2 feet of water. Still holding a few good eater size fish but low hot water usually mean parasites so I believe I'm catch and release till more rain and colder weather

the one i visited sunday was out west and it is around 12 to 14 deep normally , it always has a good number of crappie under it and under the dock was about 4 or 5 foot deep and not a fish there , not even a bream
lake is said to be around 8 foot low .....:banghead

Same here in OKC. Terrible picture (and even worse catch), but you can see now you can walk ten feet into what used to be water in my neighborhood ponds. Attachment 435793

Wow! That seems like the situation all over the country. Over here in CT and NY, there's so much dirt exposed. Out of curiosity, has anyone else seen cyanobacteria blooms? Wondering if there's a correlation there, as they've been here more often than in the past.

P.S.

No fish is a bad fish!

not sure about the bacteria , but to be very sure fresh water is a bit scarce in these parts , biblical prophecy types of scenarios daily dont you know .
