It's supposed to warm up until Sat, then rain & get cooler thru Monday.

Luck2ya, if ya go !!
I know this is probably too late, but might help anyone headed out this week/weekend.

We had 30 teams show up to fish our USABassin tournament on Saturday, April 14th. We paid 6 places and 13.73 got a check. Bruce and I won it with a 23.65 pound limit, but only had 6 keeper bites (5 good fish and a 13 inch spot). We caught 5 of our 6 fish on spinnerbaits while it was still windy. Our 6th fish was a nice 4 pound smallie caught on an Alabama rig late in the tournament. All the spinner bait fish were shallow (1-3 feet) near shoreline brush/grass in small cuts or near rip-rap. The Smallie was on a main-lake flat. The second place weight was 19.14 pounds, anchored by a 6.95 pound female that looked like she was ready to burst. They caught the big one flipping the bank in a small main-lake cut... Not sure about the rest of their fish.

What we found odd was that there were several teams that are usually very strong on Green that struggled. The bite was tougher than normal for this time of year as only 10 limits came to the scales.

For lake level, here is a link that I use to monitor it... It is quite handy as it updates hourly and shows the lake level in 5 minute interevals... You can pick a date-range or number of days view. It makes it really easy to project what the lake level will be a few days out:

Right now it is at 80.56 feet and falling at about 0.7 ft per day. (summer pool is 75 feet)

Good luck to anyone headed out!
