Cave Run this Fall?

[Whitski]

For what it's worth,
I was there the first week of June and was amazed to see the Flats were a big, underwater desert. No weeds.
I fished the new fish attractors that KDFW had placed around the main lake area and caught one 36" trolling a deep crank around the brush piles near the dam.
I hadn't fished the cave when weeds were absent, so I was a bit lost. I roamed the open water looking for bait balls and found a few, and around those I saw a few big marks on the sonar. I fished them with open water tactics, jigging, plastics, and even a big topwater but had no luck. I also trolled and caught several nice open water largemouth on musky cranks, 4-5 lbs each, but no ski's.

I'll bet it's kinda weird for the muskies too.

Was at the Cave a couple of weeks ago. Trolled mostly around the flats because my partner had hooked a nice one a couple of days earlier. We didn't do much (bluebird skies) . We'd pick up a small weed ever now and then if water depth got below 8 ft.

I expect the weeds to come on in the next few weeks with all the dry sunny weather lately, but it probably won't be enough to draw them in to their normal fall haunts.

This weekend is looking pretty musky-ish, but the water temp will probably still be a little too warm yet.
