Fishing partner picked up one today in the wind right in that big hole off the point of the shore fisherman. Was tough fishing only saw a few caught and they were all after 2pm. Was in the water at 6am so that’s alot of time without seeing or having any action.

Yesterday was in Drano, loooots of boats in the bowl, seen a good dozen or so fish picked up in there buts it’s soo crowded it takes the fun out of it for me.

spent the last day and a  half on the bank with almost no action. saturday i was out there 530am-4pm. only seen on fish hit the bank that whole time from the one old dude plunking. Did him a favor and netted it for him. Boats had fish here and there most of the day with the exception of a good slow down in the bite from about 11am-2pm. Overall it was pretty slow fishing.

Spent today out there and it was even slower with stronger AM wind that tapered down as the sun got higher. Not much for fish though. Same old dude that caught one saturday managed to scrape up the only one we saw on the bank today. Didnt see anyone get a hit on a plug. The fish dont seem to be hitting close to the bank spot very much. Overall its pretty slow. Hoping it picks up by next weekend and the 5k fish over the dam the other day wasnt all there was for  the season.

That looks like a major CF.  Fishing would have to be really damn good for that to be fun.

Wow, showed up there there this morn about 6:30.  There was no lineup to launch, but the lake was so full you had tp take a number.  Parking was 1/2 mile away, 75 years old & bad knees, I turned around & went to the wind

Yea they built that launch knowing they were short 200 parking spots - just have to dump rock and expand but won’t.

not alot going on outside the bowl. We only picked 1 up in the lake and many people I talked to saw very few fish caught in the lake.
