I bass fished Green monday 4/9 for about 8.5 hours. The lake conditions are currently pretty much the same as they have been for the last 3 weeks, other than the water level going up and down but I guess that is also the same because it has been like a Yo Yo since late February. Water temp is low to mid 50's pending area of the lake and time of day. From Holmes Bend up it gets very dirty. Around Corbin's bend it is stained and towards ramp #1 and up in Taylor County it has light stained areas but mostly decent color.

For me Monday was slow but still decent. It was not what I expected for the time of the year but it beats being at work. I would catch one here and one there with the few I caught coming on a variety of baits. I would catch one or two the same way and think I could duplicate what I done but it just never happened for me so I would switch tactics. I never could put together a pattern and duplicate a bite.

I keep telling myself it's getting ready to bust lose and go crazy but mother nature keeps throwing curve balls. For example tonight 4/10 they have a freeze warning, friday 4/13 is suppose the be a high of 77 and then saturday and sunday 4/14-15 is calling for a pretty good rain event. They are forecasting 1.3" for this weekend. The corps is pulling the lake down at a decent pace. They might get it close to a couple feet over summer pool by this weekend but if we get the 1.3" of rain that is forecasted it will be right back in the parking lot by monday or tuesday of next week...right now I think the fish are confused with the Yo Yo up and down water and the low to mid 50's water in the second week of April or maybe it's just me who is confused LOL. If someone went and told me they loaded the boat I would not be surprised. If someone went and told me they struggled to catch fish I would not be surprised.
