I'm headed to elmer davis lake thursday and was wondering if the big bluegill and redear are up on the banks yet? went down there last year once but we were a week or 2 early. any info or help on where to try at in the lake or anything else will be appreciated. thanks in advance.
just come back from there took wife to school to eat with my son went to check out the water and it is clear with weeds out about 3 to 4 feet looking good imo talk to a guy at the dock said he caught 27 big gills last nite and a bunch of smaller ones right there at the dock at the dam i have not been there my self due to tourment sech. in a couple of weeks we were catching them on the bank in the first big cove to the left of the dam headded towards grannys we got ton some good ones coming back right before dark out in th middle of the cove we would see them hit the top of the water and cast to them had a bite every time but keep ur distance hope this is some help and good luck
Me and dabassking are going Saturday. Thanks for the info ironhead. We'll post when we get back. Coolj, post report when you get back????Looking for water clarity - temp ; if you want let us know how you whacked'em.
If the gills are not biting, we catch a bunch of small bass on any plastic you want to throw.
Good Luck

is it me or have you all noticed the fish are a little behind this year? this time last year we were slaying them at our favorite bluegill hole close to the bank and i have been twice in the past 4 days and they aren't up in there yet. we went to kentucky lake and got into them last year in the stake beds around april 22nd and no **** luck this year at the same time. seems like the water temps are little cooler this year maybe.

CoolJ, Did you go to Elmer Davis yesterday? I'm headed that way tomorrow.
Any info on water clarity & temps would be great.

Went Saturday w/dabassking! Set out to only fish for bluegill - SLOW:mad:I don't think the gills are ready yet.
Water a little off color, but not bad. Actually cleared up a bit as the day progressed.
With the gill action so slow (several small ones only 4 keepers w/1 crappie) we started bass fishing and caught a bunch of small ones. Had a 16", 14", & 15". I could not see any bedding bass or gills. Maybe not in the right area but I could not find them.
Decent day! Not looking for a monster; just fishin.
Now that the 18'6" law is in the process of being changed I can actually fish without looking over my shoulder for the LAW.
Good luck

I didn't make it to elmer davis like i had planned but I'm gonna head down there this thursday or friday. I figured with the weather warming into the 80's by the end of the week that the gills might be turned on. anyone been there lately or got any info? thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!
