I got a few nice ones on a white/red topwater popper in shallow water at sunrise. Then nothing much after that.

I went out on Sunday and fished the North end muddy water and not very good fishing. I did catch my first shaky head fish but only two others and they were all small. Probably should have went south to find clearer water. It's been rough for me this year on EM. Going to Worth this Friday cause at least it's free to launch there.

It's not exactly free you still have to buy a permit to put on your trailer to be on the lake. Just a heads up in case you didn't know that, the police check for those stickers on trailers daily and write tickets.

I fished Saturday morning and caught 2 small ones mid lake and North. I haven't caught anything bigger than 3 lbs all year...

I caught a 3ish saturday and a bunch of smaller fish. I put all my rods away except 2

I had good luck on Saturday morning - EM has fished a lot better for me this year than last year. Caught the first fish on a black/blue senko and the second fish on a pearl Fluke. In past years it seems crankbaits have worked best for me but this year has been great for numbers and size on plastics. Most of my fish have come from the south end of the lake. I think we will see some great Fall action. (Sorry I didn't blur the backgrounds but I'm a firm believer in using the TFF to share successes so that it might help someone out.)

^^^^^ nice! I still haven't made it out on the water yet... Only 24 hours in a day and 7 days a week. Sad thing is I live 1/2 mile from the lake country ramp!

That second spot I know for sure. It was good with a jig years ago but tough in July this year for me. Nice fish. I'm almost certain about the other spot also.

Were those fish deep or suspended? I've fished around that second spot with a deep diver and couldn't catch anything despite seeing them on the graph.

For me it's been a weird year on the lake. Those fish came out of very shallow water like most of my fish this year. The deepest fish I've caught this year was actually at night.

I took the day off tomorrow (Friday) to get on the lake before the Labor Day fishing crowd tears up the lake. Mornings are cooling off and hopefully this fish will be shallow because that's where I'm going.

Hopefully they bite for you!

Oh, man it was tough today. Not even a bite. I was out at 6:30am before sunrise. Topwater popper and purple worm deep in the coves but didn't get anything. Then fished the reeds on the north side of the island. Then the shallow stuff over in the pelican bay area. Then pitched docks. Nothing.

i was out there this morning to caught 2 around the west side of island
alot of busting shad but would they not hit my pop r fluke spinnerbait nothing
finally caught 2 on ribbon tail worm one in the reeds one in open water
picked up other 2 on rattle trap around some docks in a cove on west side of lake

What water temps did you guys see today?
