That would be carp. Saw them everywhere.

I'll be out tomorrow too, blue skeeter

1.5 chartreuse black back square bill on secondary points. Several 2s, a couple of 3s and one just under 7.

We only caught 2 dinks this morning... we fished over by Harbour Point most of the morning. The shad were spawning like crazy, but no bites on our crank baits/spinner baits/flukes. I got a lot of bites on my watermelon red baby brush hog... but they were all small bites (possibly males guarding their fry... since I saw quite a bit of that shallow).

There were a ton of carp up shallow, which could have contributed to the slow bite.

We pretty much just beat the bank the whole day, since this was our first time on the lake and don't have much experience fishing deeper.

Hopefully we get on them next time, but it sure was nice out there today.

Couple dinks from 8-12.

G ROD our basscat white and red?

On the S end, yesterday Big Carter looked like motor oil. Today it is starting to settle out a little bit and the water looks better.

If you are fishing south early in the morning, don't run over me in my trusty Pelican 10 footer.

The water was kinda dirty for me today too.
I'm heading to the lake at 6am Saturday morning. Should be getting some daylight by then. I've got new Humminbird graphs I'm trying to learn so I'll probably be fiddling with them. I've had them for a few weeks and I always say I'm gonna take the time to play with the settings to learn more but I've got a rod in my hand so I always end up just fishing and seeing what the default settings tell me.

Good luck 'Toofy'...congrats on the new graphs.
Let us know if things have picked up.... I sure hope
God Bless

The lakes around here only turn over in the fall. All the lakes should be starting to stratify with cooler water on bottom and warmer on top. The Oxygen levels are also dropping in the deeper water (thermocline is getting ready to form in the next few weeks).

Three little ones for me.

Caught 5 total in a 2 1/2 hours until my cranking battery bit the dusk. Looked and saw it lasted 5 years. Biggest bass was 3.5lbs on crank. Other on craws.

anyone care to share some pointers on this lake? I am heading there in a week for 3 days I appreciate any help. Thanks.

Small fish are shallow and around docks. Im finding bigger fish deep

I'm there right now taking a break. Were you there this morning? I think I saw your boat coming into the cove
where I was then you turned away at the last minute. I promise to wear deodorant next time.

I got a couple 1 pound largemouths off some docks on a white crank bait.
