Haven't talked to him since last Monday. I read on here somewhere that the bigger fish were being caught up the river closer to the damn. Good luck if you go.

Did not get to go this week, maybe next week if not too late.

Good trip.
10" size limit is working. Managed to catch a lot of nice Specks.
All caught jigging. Love to jig in the reeds and shallow water on this lake.
Pearl white was the jig of choice.

Went last Saturday and caught nine nice ens, also about 2lb Oscar. That was one slimy fish, not keeping them anymore. Used minnows and bobbers inside eel grass.

Been told that they are excerllant eating fish - but slime problem is main thing
that keeps me away from them.
Spend lots of time cleaning boat - live wells etc..............
I'll pass................almost same for for catfish on deck and in live wells -slime
Northern pike - gar - mud fish - chain pickeral - toothy problem expecially if have
"brain fade" and lip them out of water..........
