Thread: LOZ Mile 77

I'm headed to that area this weekend. I'll be in a boat trying doing a mix of bass and crappie fishing while others bass fish. We've typically fished shallow banks and docks, but I'll be seeking 8 FOW or more this year, especially with the water temps still pretty high.

Thanks, I am afraid the dock at the house we looked at is in way too shallow water. It’s 5-6’ now.

Not surprised, most of the docks around us are in about 5 FOW. Maybe the cooler temps will bring them in by Saturday.

If you are looking to buy on LOTO, I highly recommend 10'+ of water off the end of the dock during the summer months. The lake drops around 6 feet in the winter and they keep it at that level until April/May time frame. If you buy a house with a dock in less water than that and keep your boat on a lift and want to fish during the winter, your dock will be on the ground, thus no boating opportunities.
