I had 16.51 lbs. 3 fish limit.. Lake is OK to me..It all depends. Ive caught em and been skunked. If was easy every time, it wouldn't fun when you do sack em up.

That's a damn good 3 fish limit. Well done

Heard the same thing, I agree if it will surface or not

C’Mon ladies. Spill the gossip!

It can be tough on EM for sure, especially with all the summer boat traffic. I hit it at sunrise during the warmer months. I am getting more bites per trip with experience, but it is a grind at times. I’d focus on marinas, coves and docks. Finesse type baits usually work best for me. I find that places that look like they should hold bass… often don’t. Best wishes.

They’re sucking EM dry to hold Worth at current level. At what level will they open up Bridgeport to replenish EM? Eagle currently at -2.24 and dropping.

How does the water level at EM affect bass fishing other than finding where they are relative to water levels?

Today

BP is already 3ft low

Worth has an agreement with Lockheed, they can’t allow the lake to get to -2.5 ft. If it holds true to form when Eagle gets a little lower they will begin draining Bridgeport regardless of how low it is. This is the first year I’ve seen it take 164 cfs from EM to hold Worth at the current level, in years past it would only take 84 cfs. Don’t know if it’s drought related, if Lockheed is using more water, or if it’s simply evaporation from the heat. They’ve only been releasing 14 cfs from Bridgeport and EM is dumping 164 cfs into Worth. Something will have to give soon if we don’t get some rain, in the end it’s Bridgeport that gets the short end of the stick.

How does the water level affect bass fishing? Probably doesn’t matter much f your an offshore or dock fisherman, but for guys who live in 6ft of water or less 2-3ft low is huge. Fish don’t seem to mind, 3 bags over 21 lbs last night in a 3 hour tournament with a big fish of just over 9.5 lbs.

I heard there are fish in baskets everywhere. If you find the baskets they are full of 5 pound bass. Seems like an easy lake to fish.

that's the winning pattern out there!

Have any good waypoints for baskets?

I gotta work on my livescope game, they should be easy to find.....
