Minnesota guy struggling to figure out these reservoir bass. Been down here on LOZ for the last 2 days and it's been tough. I've found a few decent fish on steeper chunk rock banks just before the back-ends of coves but that's it. My biggest fish (a 19" and two 16") have come on a biffle head with a green pumpkin baby brush hog. Can't get moving baits to work. Fish seem reluctant to say the least. Water temps in the coves have been low 60s in the morning to almost 70 yesterday afternoon. Nothing off docks and I haven't been able to locate the mystical brush piles. I thought maybe I could find some by motoring along in front of docks with my structure scan but I'm not finding them. I believe I know the right kinds of docks to look at. The multi-billion dollar homes with the 6 jet skis, giant cruiser, 300hp pontoon, and competition ski boats probably aren't too interested in brush piles. The more modest places with a fishing boat and a fish cleaning station seem more likely, but as I said, I haven't been able to spot any. Are most brush piles fairly small and not very tall off the bottom? By the way, I've been fishing the Turkey Bend area. All in all, fishin' has been great. Catching is a little slow, but I'm not complaining.

Thanks. Is it located in Davey Hollow?

If the weather cooperates, I'm planning a long weekend trip in late March to fish LOZ in the Sunrise Beach area. I'm looking for a smaller, family-type fishing resort and any recommendations would be appreciated. I'm not a fan of the "mega" multi-story resorts. Thanks!

Anyone have the results?

LOL. They make excellent wind chimes!

Thanks Greg. Just what I was looking for. Hoping to come down the 2nd weekend of Nov, weather permitting of course.

Any web sites that maintain a schedule of all (or most) tournaments on TR? thx

Thanks guys. I see the temps are supposed to be in the 60s, maybe even 70 Thurs? That's downright tropical! Looking forward to a cabin-fever-free weekend!

Just wondering if there is still snow on the ground in the lake area? I'm planning to bring my wife down this weekend to check out the area, but, I don't need to see any more snow. We've had more than enough of that in Minnesocold this winter. Thanks.

And here I thought Omaha was "The Good Life"! That's what the sign says on I-680 just before you cross the river, right? My son just escaped, er moved, from Omaha to Denver and he's plenty happy about it.

Thanks. Good idea. Hope everyone is ok down there. Tornadoes? Dec 31st? Sheesh!

How is it going as far as trying to maintain two places with that kind of distance between them? I'm looking for a vacation/wintering area/retirement home near the lake too but I'm concerned about trying to maintain it until I can retire (currently living in Minnesocold).
