Sums up our trip: Was loading up at the port of kimberling ramp about noon yesterday. Had the boat out of the water when i saw James Watsons boat coming around the corner. He had a camera guy on board rolling footage. Watched him catch a short fish on a buzz bait. Then he yelled out to me, "this lake sucks".  I agreed back, "today it does" Shot the breeze with him a bit - he was super friendly. Said that short he just caught was the only bite he had all morning. Talked about how tough the lake was right now.

toyota results say the same thing - 3lbs got you in the top 30!  Didn't fish the tournament, but experienced much of he same. Had 3 keepers and 11 shorts between our 2 boats sat, sun, and Monday. Junk fishing at its best (worst?).  Biggest was 2.54 caught on the ned. Best bite was back in west fisher creek. Had what looked to be about a 3lber come off at the boat half way back into the creek - had her hooked briefly on a tube

will be back in 3 weeks looking for my revenge - and hopefully a sustainable pattern.

Where are the Toyota results? 3 lbs in the top 30 is insane!

Yikes. Roughly 185 boats, 151 fish.  Doesn't bode well for this weekend.

night fishing is not suffering.  we caught 10 keepers from dark to midnight monday night in the dam area.  i did fish the toyota tourney with a guy from nc, and we had 0 keeps for the day.  however, before the tournament on friday and sat., we did find some really good lng's grouped up in the 25 to 35 ft. zone, but the front and storm just blew them apart and scattered them for sunday.  so, we got even with them monday night.

better daytime fishing is not far off though.  the ones that are gathered up right now, and catchable, are not just everywhere and really takes a lot of time and traveling to find a group of them.
