I was on Fork Tues from 6:30-10am and it was tough on me. All the fish I caught were on 2 roadbeds and couple community humps on the dam end of the lake. I did find a school of BIG DRUM in 18-25 fow that liked to eat a spoon laugh

I marked a lot of fish in the 16-25 depths and only caught 2 slots, a few decent unders and a few "alan jacksons" before I loaded up and headed for some AC...

Found them schooling mid-day at wolf last Sunday. Lots of fish to catch suspended above the thermocline also. Like Dax was saying, have to move around until you find a group that will bite. Once you get them fired up, it's on!

Remember, even though the lake isnt releasing any water, the way the wind blows and the contour of certain points may create the slightest amount of current that will attract fish. These fish have been the more aggressive fish for sure. Ive been catching 90% of my fish on football head jigs in pb&j and carolina rigged flukes in bait fish color.........5ft leader....slow drag. If they wont touch the jig I go to the c-rig. If I see fish and dont get bit in 10 min.....im off to the next spot. I'm no guide, but ill help a brother out because I know its not financially possible for all of us to spend $600 on a guide, or be on the water 5 days a week. Good Luck!!!
This is the reason I have been reading on this forum for so long. Some people just plain don't have as much money but still enjoy fishing just like the next guy.
