I used to catch them along the bluffs out of the Spencer ramp trolling crankbaits and jigs. Head towards the dam and fish the bluffs on the left. Also, there is a brush pile and other structure...

He told me his Mother keeps it Open from 10am-5pm. For earlier service I jut call him a few minutes before I get there. He gets there pretty fast.

I hope he makes it. Very convenient!!

It's a little shack next to the cafe.
Nice assortment of tackle as well.

Reels Up Bait and tackle is open in Triana now. It was my first visit there. He is a Triana Fireman. If no one is around, you can call him, and he will come to the shop. He is in and around the...

I have been using these to troll with jigs and small crank baits. Work good for me. I don't have any kind of a relationship with them. Just passing along a tip.

So, when it cools off some more, they move into the bay? Some nice ones are being caught in 12 to 14 feet of water at the mouth of the creek in the river channel.

In times like this I try not to develop tunnel vision and fall into the trap of sticking with one area or technique. Instead I try a little bit of everything until I find something that works once I...

Try trolling with jigs to.

Lot’s of stumps in Spavinaw creek. Drop a jig or minnow amongst them!!

The old adage holds true, "They could be anywhere". That said these spots worked out for me most of the time. Had some dry days as well so be patient.

Periodically troll crank baits along the...

More stained than muddy. Back part of Indian creek was the best.

Fished Indian and Cotaco creek on Wednesday.

Scoped out all the laydown in Indian creek but couldn't see any fish holding on it. Caught two small crappie (7 to 8 inches) dropping a jig down in...

Only caught one crappie about 11 inches or so and one small white bass. Caught the crappie in about 12 feet of water at about 8 feet in depth. Nailed a dark green crank bait. Went back and covered...

New to the area but in the NE Oklahoma lakes I fished for several years the crappie could be very difficult to find at times. My best success in finding them when they were not in their usual haunts...

Thank you!!

Very familiar with treacherous waters. My home lakes in NE Oklahoma were very dangerous most of the time. It's the ones you don't see that get you.

Plan on using the trolling...

Not going until tomorrow.

Sounds like interference to me. Do a web search on how to resolve it.

Pretty common problem and can affect them all no matter who manufactured it.

Good video...

New to the area and thought with all the high water and muddy conditions would try Elk River. Much too nice weather to stay home. Not expecting to catch much of anything but will be an opportunity...

Not surprising how many idiots are on the water. There is an old saying, Think about the stupidest person you have ever met. Five will get you ten they have a driver's license. That also applies...

There are a few places near the boat ramp that may work. I've seen several people fish off the bank there.
Bill

Struggling whether to go tomorrow or not. Poured rain here in Madison today. Mostly wanting to do some scouting but not excited about fighting current and debris in the water.

I have a Hummingbird Lakemaster Mid-South Version 3 map card I used in a non-HD Hummingbird 798CI SI fish finder. Move to Alabama and no longer have a use for it. Just checked it in the 798 and all...

Tomorrow will be my first time out since moving to Alabama last fall. Got my new Hummingbird Mega 360 and Helix 10 installed and ready to go. Will launch at the Riverwalk Marina ramp and fish...

Ouch!!
Bill

Took me a while but I had a good handle on it on my home lakes in Oklahoma. I knew what to expect before I launched the boat. All comes with experience.
Bill

I'll have to check the inflow and outflows regularly while on the water to better understand their relationship to current.

Bill

As I understand it when the outflow is considerably less than the inflow there should be minimal current. In your example they are even so what is coming in is going out. That would be high current...

Yea I was thinking the same thing. I don't like fighting high currents in my deep vee boat.
Bill

Just did and the difference is 13,283 cubic feet per second.
Bill

I guess my concern was how difficult and hazardous it may be when the currents are high due to inflow and outflow increases. That's why I am trying to get an idea how the inflows and outflows on...

I'm new to the area so don't really have a good idea how dam water releases affect the current and lake levels on Wheeler. At what flow as posted on the TVA web site can you expect high currents and...
