Had the pleasure of camping and boating here over the holiday weekend. Thought I would report my first trip ever to this lake.

Friday. Dropped a jig onto some fish I marked. Within about two bumps I hooked into a fighter. As a matter of fact he dang near spooled me three times. When it was over I measured him at 22.5� and fat fat fat. After that it was fish after fish but nothing even close to that size.

Saturday. Fished from about 9-3. Fished same area and the fishing was very consistent. Almost everything I caught was between 18-21�. Ended up with about 30 catches and multiple losses at the boat.

Sunday. Tried jigging again for an hour or so but they weren�t having it. Was marking more fish on the finder than the other two days. Decided to try and troll for some bites. Oh brother was that the right call! I just had to roll through this one area and it was a guaranteed hookup. Almost all fish were 20+ �.

I was a little concerned about the reports of a massive fish kill here. That may well have happened but it seems to me the bigger fish definitely survived and are thriving. I marked bait almost everywhere I scanned.

Surface temp was 75-76 and water depth for catches was 14-16ft

WHAT PART OF THE LAKE DID YOU CATCH YOUR FISH ? SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT TIME . GOOD TO KNOW THE BIG FISH SURVIVED.

Great report! We definitely have what looks to be a bumper crop of 4-6# hybrids. A couple weeks ago we ran in to same thing as you did. Found a good concentration of hybrids but couldn't get em to bite until tried trolling and it was fish on every pass. Great job

I was there Monday morning and caught a couple chasing shad early, but not many, then ***POOF*** they were gone. I have never fished for these dudes before and I tried cranking some points, but never got another bite.

Do they school down by the dam? Here at the villages for a couple days. Wouldn�t mind catching a few of those. Thanks for any info.
