Default Whites?

Anyone catching them at Carlyle Or Rend? May go this week and give it a try if I get all my honeydos done.

Well all I can tell you is the wife and daughter and I fished Carlyle Thursday from sun up to 7 pm and did not manage 1 white over 6-7"................ Fished the rocks, the deeper edges, you name it we tried it.....

They are doing real good at Carlyle on White Bass. Was over there Friday and a friend got 26 good size ones. I talked to 2 other guys and they had a bunch of them. From what I can tell they are catching them on curlie tail jigs (White). They were fishing around the Island and the silos, point 6 and point1. Look for 8 or 9 foot of water. Will be over there today, will find out more. They are catching them early.

My Son in Law is out right now , not sure if he is fishing for cat's or white bass. I will let you know how he does.

Only dinks at Rend. Caught about 10 yellow bass all 4 inches long at Rend on Monday. Did manage to catch one white about 9".

Default Carlyle 8/10/08

Got a chance to get out yesterday. Did some trolling crank baits. Went to the dam, nothing going on. Looks like the lake is turning over. Saw a lot of boats, but not a lot of catching going on. The north end (Keyesport area) looked better. A lot of boats over on the flats by the silos, don't know if they are catching anything. Water should clear up this week.

No whites on Rend for me this weekend. Wasn't a lot of boats at the usual haunt either. Some guys were catching a few from the banks near the bridges.

Tried the spillway for whites/stripes and caught 3 fish all over 10lbs. Too bad they were carp!!!!!!! All 3 flat ate a 4" sassy shad on a 1/2 oz head
