Dam Area 8/8

[SplitG2]

Fished last night from 10-1 and got skunked....less a 5lb catfish I foul hooked with a jig. Pretty frustrating. Fished this morning until 10 and caught 7. All SM with none worthy of pics. 2 on ned the others on a drop shot. Most were caught just before the pleasure boats came out. Color change from watermelon to blue/silver made a difference. Fish were in 19' on a gravel taper. Gonna ditch this area to fish for KB's the rest of the weekend in more usual KB spots.

Thanks I'm out of Moonshine Beach in the morning. I'll give you a follow up tomorrow. I have heard of some very good walleye catches in the dam area this past week on a jigging spoon, in the 30' to 40' range. Seems the better fish may be a bit deeper from point 5 to Long Creek than most are looking.

We are going to throw a jig, so I may suck it up too.

Good luck Bill. We only got them on a crankbait. Could not get bit on the dropshot and only caught a few on the jig. Boat traffic has been horrible up at he dam too. I think it's the last week before school starts.

A follow up to rest of the weekend....1 decent KB in the shade of a deep dock yesterday afternoon on the drop shot. One good LM last night on a jig and one more KB on a white spoon this am. Regarding the night trip, I fished for 2.5 hrs and lost 2 others at the boat with a couple other hits that I didn't connect with. Had to drag it keeping constant contact with the bottom to get hit.
