WeekendWarrior Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 Yes there is a lot of floating trash along with some bigger stuff as well. Not sure what you all are talking about shutting off the water, they have slowed a little but are still pulling 39K+ CFS, which is a lot of water.

I noticed that. I've been watching it. I was told my multiple people that the plan was to shut it off. I didn't happen when I was expecting it to; although there was a slight reduction, as you said.
fishinwrench Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Culled to 17# this afternoon fishing flukes and hollow bodied frogs in the mats of sawdust and floating debris piled up in the cuts and coves. Talk about a fun way to catch'em ! Middle of the day was best, then about 6:30-6:45 the bite just quit. Jbrant, snagged in outlet 3 and MOPanfisher 3

Dad was down and took him out for a couple hours Thursday and caught some small fish, never boated a keeper. Pretty much had to stay put in an area as he just had a hip replacement. I put him on a little cleo and he caught white bass, crappie, catfish, drum and a couple kentuckies, he had fun. fishinwrench and Jbrant 2
Hydro 205 Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 After 3 weeks of great fishing today was a bust. Had 10 keepers yesterday morning the best 5 went 16.9. Today spent 6 hours and nothing. Just a bunch of shorts. I'm afraid the main lake has went to its summer patterns Jbrant 1
Jbrant Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Fished about 10 hours over the weekend between the 40 and 51 MM. We struggled to get bites. Caught around 10 with 3 keepers. Hit a bunch of main lake points with almost nothing to show for it. Mainly fished the up current side but also hit the down current side some. Fished flatter points and deeper points. Fished right up on seawalls and around backside of docks. Did catch a few on the edge of a breakline in a big creek on a point. We had better luck around some docks on the edge of small pockets. Also caught a few on laydowns in a creek. Threw a chatter bait, spinnerbait, and topwaters with almost no bites. Most of our fish came on jigs and soft plastics, most of them pretty shallow. How are you guys approaching the main lake points? Do you focus on one side or the other (up current or down current side)? Looking for steeper, bluff ends or flatter points? With or without docks??
fishinwrench Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 I tried for a repeat performance this evening after the little storm moved out and I took a butt whoopin'. I tried everything I could think of but it seemed like the fish had shut down hard. The water temp up here has taken a drastic jump, I was showing 84-86° on both temp sensors. How did the water get that warm all of a sudden? It hasn't been that hot!

fishinwrench Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 I double checked it with my bow mounted unit and that's what they both were reading. Doesn't seem possible but I just tested my temp guages again in the driveway and they are dead-on accurate with the air temp right now.

You may be correct that the classic summer pattern is soon upon us. It didn't work for me this weekend; but with numbers like those, it can't be far off.
