I wish I had a ton of profound insight to add, but all the reports since Saturday are pretty spot on with what I've come across thus far during our weeklong stay.  Limited spinnerbait bite (assuming there's wind), zilch on a topwater, and not a whole lot for a suspended/keitech bite (finally started to see a few of those fish show up on the graph today, more during our late-evening outing)... which leaves you the bottom of the lake.  Bearing in mind that I take the kitchen-sink approach when I first get a few hours away from the kids/nedheads,  I've caught them on shakey finesse worms, tubes, 5/16 eakins jigs, heavier football jigs, and a biffle head / structure bug.  The tube though has been about my most consistent bite.  3/16 weight, 3.5" tube, gp/orange bps if you want to be specific.  I'm beginning to think though that you can pretty much catch them on whatever you have the patience to drag across the bottom, in the right depth.  So maybe returning to typical spring pattern??

Oh, and another plug for +/- a few feet of the old bank line.  And slow.  If the trees are just too tempting to leave alone, the first row is the most productive with the drawdown.

Nice report with a lot of detail. Thanks.

Man, you just saved me a whole lot of typing!

Only other thing I would mention is the water dropped and the surface temp soared since Sunday. Lots of 75 - 76 degree water yesterday but it appeared to be almost two less feet of water. 

We're still throwing Ned as opposed to tube. Didn't catch as many yesterday as Sunday - maybe twenty five with five or six keepers but successful techniques remained the same. 

Water was a little murkier we thought, with more stuff floating around on top (leaves and stuff) although still very little in the way of floaters. 

Cuts, pockets and the like have done zippo for us other than an occasional dink. We can catch a few out of and around the trees but, again, primarily just  the trees on points. Likewise for dock ends. Here and there but nothing consistent.

Is there an "easy" way to downsize photos on an iPhone  to post on the forum?  By "easy" I mean simple enough for my pea brain to comprehend. I can do it on my Mac at home but that's not much help here.  And by the time I get home I figure it's old news and just never bother.

I don't have anything earth shaking to share but I really enjoy looking at the pictures y'all post and would like to know how to do the same. 

Plus, it would enable me to place a check mark next to the "Things I Learnt  Today" box.

You can email the picture back to yourself and it will ask you the size you want to send.  Just choose the smallest size and save the image back to your phone when you the email.

Oh sure, you make it sound so easy!

Just kidding - thanks for the help. I'll give it a shot this evening.

Gave up and downloaded a resizer for Android.

Thanks for the report, sounds just like what I found in the dam area yesterday.
