Anyone been in the last few days? General hints to minimize wasting time on the water? Going tomorrow/Friday.

Fished Tuesday. First time ever on the lake. We put in at the Marina, went to the bank on opposite side and started flipping. Missed a few good ones. Lots of small fish. Big fish of the day come on a little point, lots of shad, threw a yellow magic up in the trees and had 4lber. Due to wind, was limited on areas to fish. But flipping green stuff seemed to be best.

I caught a 7# out there yesterday on a C Rig - that's the biggest one I've put in the boat out there. I also caught quite a few on a square bill including one that was just shy of 5#

For me that was a great day out there. I fact the last two trips I've had out there have been two of the best trips ever out there.

shhhh

But, yeh.....pretty hot lake lately

I heard they are letting out about 6 inches of water a day out of there. Think that's gonna affect the fishing this weekend?

If it wasn't such a whip, I would upload a few pics, a 5#, 7# that I caught out there wednesday and what I believe is a dead DD that I found on the Lynn Creek Ramp - It had been dead awhile, probably washed up on the ramp but it was a big one.

Yes but you can still catch them,,if not the sandies eat good when there pumping water out.

I think that hurt the shallow bite, but maybe just me. I was out there with a buddy two weeks ago and we caught a lot of fish shallow on T-rigs, shaky heads. This week when I was there those bites where dead, all my fish where caught a little deeper off the bank on moving baits or C-rigging deeper points.

Me and my wife went out there last Saturday and caught 8 fish all in 4 ft of water or less. But a buddy of mine has been fishing out there a little deeper and has caught 4 overs in the past 2 weeks including a 9 1/2 and an 8 last Friday and this past monday. I was just wondering about the water being pumped out because I'm planning on taking my boss out there this weekend and just wanted to k of what to expect with them pumping water out.

If it where me, I would be throwing moving baits close to cover. But the weather is supposed to change pretty drastically over night, it could make for a great day. I think overcast and 70 something degrees is just about perfect but maybe that's just me. Good luck

I've had luck out there monday missed a 6 or 7 came up an threw me off, been fishing with a buddie on his boat, anyone has a open back seat, i may be able to put them on some fish as i did with my buddy

How's the water clarity?

They are pumping it out pretty fast gone down a foot since last weekend

Filling back up right now. Lol So is my boat, about as fast as the pump can pump it out. Haha

stained, bout 4ft visability the closer you get to the dam
