Anybody know if the fish are starting to school up in deep water yet? Honey Do's almost done and want to get back to the water, only this time I'd like to catch a mess of fish. LOL

really couldnt say,as i havent been there in a year.

but i gotta say,with the water being so high for so long,

they are probably staging at the sunken brush near the original shorelines,not far off the channel on the main lake and not up the coves and creeks.with a good fishfinder and a map of known brush piles,you could stock up. look for old cuts

on the map and try to find them with the depth finder. with the water being high as long as it has,i think they will be at

the original first drop from power pool shoreline. these will probably be pretty far from shore right now and there wont be much other than what you can see on the depth finder to guide you. pretty tough job but when you do find fish ,immediately try to find landmarks to help you find it again. and beware using trees for such landmarks as they all ussually start looking alike after awhile. now would be a good time to use marker bouys as landmarks are kinda hard to find. tell ya something else,drifting might be a pretty good option. roll into an area and position your self so thewind will carry you thru an area. drop minnows down to the bottom and pull em up a bit when you feel the bottom. takes a lot of time and effort,but does pay off now and then.
