[Stinkbait]

Fished the second half of the day. Water temp was 74-76. Wind us up to 13 mph plus out of the SW, and swirling in any vertical areas

The water has cleared up a bunch and the grass has bloomed. Some small mats in sheltered areas. Tons of 3-5 inch bass fry and smaller gill fry.

Couldn't get a reaction bite going at a dam or on windy pts.
Fished shady vertical stuff with plastics and got it going. Did get some follows on the blade in these same areas.

Excitement of the day......dead sticking (that's what you say when you are dicking around not paying attention, I'm dead sticking...;) a smaller slow sink gill glide bait, the line goes tight, cross his eyes and get two handle turns, fatty jumps and kicks lure out. Sayonara!

The bass fry are so inquisitive, they come out of the rocks like WTF is this boat doing here!

Oh yah, there were divers working around the attenuator docks and you can now see what appears to be the 4x4? cement anchor blocks for the former docks. There is no more third walk in cove. The water is now many feet below the last center ramp extension.

Thanks for the report.

No problem man. Trying to keep this forum going with no private boats allowed these days.

There is some new magical structure coming out of the water too.
In the big bass spot at the SE corner of the quarry there is a razor back spine/ridge that is almost out of the water. It's about 150 yards long and comes out of 30-40 feet of water. When the water would be at its normal elevation it would be about 75-100 yards off shore. Would be a great swimbait location when the water comes up.

Nailed a lot of Smallies at that spot. Gawd I miss DVL. I was going to ask you about that area and the area outside of it between the wall and the humps now islands. Good time to take in all the structure all the way to the full pool line for future reference as the lake fills up. Thanks for the report...
