Made it out there a little after 10 am, caught about 25 and kept 20 for the freezer. Caught a large catfish and let him go back. Fished in 12-15 fow and used minnows with jigs. Black and Chartruse seemed to be my color today, but they also liked burgandy and chartruse. Hopefully going back again next weekend!

I was out there today....bummer couldn't fish I was out scouting around and getting the sta-bil in the carb for winter. I graphed a few fish but knew if I picked up a pole it would be game over and I would have been late to get back. Which side cunot or north side?

Lots and lots of small fish. Most were 4 to 9". Finally kept 12-9 1/2 to 10". Spider rigging in 12 to 17' fow. Jigs and minnow. 57.4 at 8a.m. and 58.2 at noon. Dock on state end is out of the water. When they stop pulling water, the fishing should turn on.

I was out there today too. Didn't start fishing until 1:30. Ran into rdant at cleaning station before I went out. Very nice to meet and talk to you Ron. Thanks for the info. Seen T9's truck at ramp and seen his reeling in fish as usual. Started fishin brush off points in 10-12 ft. Had to keep moving to get bites. Found some shallow stumps holding some fish too. I decided to make a run to an area I found this summer. First cast 12 incher. next 13 casts, 13 keepers. This area was stacked with fish. Began cullin fish quickly. Caught 3 limits in last 2 hours before dark. There were 3 guys bank fishin in front of me. They were not catching anything, so I gave them 15 of my fish. I finished my limit again in 30 min. It was so fun I didn't want to leave. All my fish were 10.5-12.5 casting tube jigs on 3ft shallow flat that drops to 8ft with brush. key was tipping jig with nibbles and fish fed at sunset. I took pics of livewell and depthfinder like T9, but i don't know how to post. Good Fishin!

Wasn't going to go yesterday, but my neighbor called around 11am and asked if I'd take him. I had promised him a trip this fall to get some fillets for his freezer, so was sort of "on the hook". Didn't arrive until around 12:30. Saw two rigs at the cleaning station, think one (green Crestliner) was rdant's. Might have seen Drew blow by in the tan pontoon, but we were in the little jon boat with the 9.9 engine, so we couldn't chase anybody down. Saw billbob as we were leaving sitting on a marked brushpile

Wasn't supposed to have the wind blow today but they sure screwed the forecast for us. Almost calm when we left the house, but as soon as we launched, the wind blew about 10mph the entire time we were there (12:30-4:30). Finally started to calm down nicely right as we were leaving - sucked big time (LOL). Also had completely changed direction and was blowing right in on some of our best areas from Saturday. Still, we fought the wind as best I could in the jon boat and ended up catching between 55-60 fish, quite a few small ones today as Rdant mentioned. Did end up with our 25 between 10"-12" though which made my neighbor happy.

Caught lots of fish tight to shallow cover, but had one good area out in 10'-13' of water that also produced well. Everything came on tubes and curly tails for us.

Going to take a vaction day tomorrw and take the wife one last time before it gets to cold for her. Not real famalier with the lake but were going to give it a try none the less. Sound and looks from the recent pictures that the fish may help us out. I'm not asking for any hot spots, but maybe someone will be kind enought to at least throw be a bone and let me know a gerenal area to start. Any help would be wonderful.
