Randy: That's kind of what I saw last week. Topwater action happening randomly down lake. Finding fish laying in 35-50 feet that would not bite is common. I think they are stripers but they could be something else. I still got plenty to take a shad, but the fishing was somewhat slow.

All that said, I am not ready to spring for electric downriggers and $40 Captain mack rigs to dangle over petrified cedar trees yet. I can understand why guides do it, as people pay to catch fish and not for a boat ride. I'll just put up with the slow easy fishing of live bait.

When is the fireworks show at PK ? Wanting to fish PK a couple of mornings this week, but want to avoid the day of and the day after to let the lake settle somewhat.

Saturday

Awesome, thank you for responding TCK73.

PK I also can�t bring myself to the dark side! I have electric down tiggers I have never installed.

I prefer not to troll when I have 4 or more clients unless that is what they want. I think it can be boring at times. I like for everyone to have a rod in their hands. But I don�t want them bored or hooking each other trying to catch fish. As long as they are willing and able to help land fish untangle the rigs and reset with some supervision I�m good with putting a lot of nice fish in the boat! Sure beats throwing that darn net and trying to keep enough shad alive in this heat.

They�re wanting a constantly moving bait. Keep it natural colored. 3-4 limits by 7am every time in last 10 days. 3-13lbs. I�ll be there tomorrow morning also.
