Thanks for report Quill!!

I was out Monday around noon till 4 and only managed one on spinnerbait, it was 87 degrees out there Monday. Saw fish up in the back end of coves but could not get them to bite seen water temps as high as 72 degrees. Only saw 2 other boats on water Monday.

This is the first time i have been able to get on website since Sunday evening...guess i was put on vacation temporarily.

Well good to have you back, and you're not the only one to have problems.  Phil has been working with the support people to get things fixed.

 Had the morning off and just hated to get all that road slime on the boat.  I just gave it a spit bath and waxed the entire rig and nothing makes a bigger mess on a boat than road rain muck.

Sounds like fun on the Stripers have they been surfacing?  We will of course expect to hear about it.

We caught a couple of 5 lbers on top Monday AM, and had I had another one that was a real striper that took me into the trees and broke me off.  There weren't a lot of them up, we were just lucky to be in the right spot.  May, in my opinion, is the best month for top water action in the lower end of the lake.  Helps to have a calm day where you can see where they are at, then if you can sneak up on them and get a top water in front of them, there's a good chance they'll eat it.

Good to know I wasn't in trouble or something!

Monday afternoon i saw the biggest school of gar fish i have ever seen and the biggest gar fish i had ever seen. West of the camp ground, that big long bluff that runs kind of in front of the big M camp ground marina all the way down to that point was solid gar fish...

The whites we caught the other evening, haven’t seen them since then

WOW! Now there's some whites. Did you weigh or measure any of them?

[96 CHAMP]

No I didn’t, but they are definitely some hogs, the wife got to catch a few and about pulled her in, LOL
