I was getting anywhere from 67 down to 60 depending on which part of the lake I was on this weekend

60 degrees................???

Hmmm you might wanna check that temp gauge. 67 sounds about right but 60....that means it dropped ten degrees in less than 6 days, Wow...

Sorry man I hope I didn't come off as a smart as s as that wasn't my intent. Right now water is about 66 to 67 almost all over the lower end of the lake...

No problem MHALL. But since you feel bad, feel free to send me your 5 best smallmouth spots for this time of year and we'll call it even! Although I'll be camping with my sons Boy Scout Troop all weekend so no fishing for me.

Called the hotline today and Ranger Ashley's recording says fishing is slow due to lake turnover. Anyone been out to give more details? I wasn't able to fish this weekend but will be next weekend. Hoping to hear fishing is improving by then.

Fished this weekend and Saturday was more difficult than Sunday. Smallies off main lake around bluffs and largemouth back of creeks mid lake in small cuts.

Went out Saturday on West end of LC and measured main lake surface water temperature at 72.8 at 6:35 am and 73.3 at 1:30 pm. Surface temperaure in back of Brown Creek (off Indian Creek) was 74.0 at 11:50 am. Cooler air temperatures in the forecast for next week should continue to move the water temp down.

Took the boys out for a few hours Sunday. Had several bites bass fishing but couldn't land a single one. They wanted to mainly look for striper jumps. We only saw two relatively small groups come up and got to them in time to make exactly one cast each. First jump, both the boys hooked up. My lure got smacked probably 6-7 times (sometimes knocking the bait a foot out of the water) but I stuck none of them. They pulled two nice keepers out of that school. Stayed there for another half hour but never saw the school again. Then ran into a small school jumping on the main lake and we got exactly one cast in them before they went down and hooked up a 3rd keeper. Not bad considering how few schools we came across. It's been 3 years since I can find a school that will stay up longer than 60 seconds. Maybe that will change this year but usually I get there too little too late. This time we found a little success (well the kids did anyway. I got skunked).
