Dam end. 915 am to 7:30 pm EST. 57 to 62F. 4 to 5 ft visibility. Water up a few feet from our trip last week to716 Ft some floaters. lots of yellow pollen on surface in back half of creeks. 80 sunny and very little wind. Saw a lot of male bass cruising in very backs of creek arms. not too interested in anything we threw at them. A few big females too. fishing decent for 1st hr or two. Quantality not quality. quite a few dinks, 1 solid keeper LM, a few chunk KY several 15 to 16" SM Shade was key. Once it was gone the next several hrs were a grind. one here one there. Then had a 20 min flurry early evening and picked up 3 keeper SM but unable to duplicate as we hopped around. Not as good as last 4 trips but a decent day considering the bluebird skies. the dinks, seeing lots of fish and a ton of follows kept the interest and hope alive. 23 total.
threw A LOT of different baits at them. caught on Shaky, crank, jerk, and a rig.
A couple of sidebars. been to dam ramp 5 times in last several weeks and the auto fee machine was working once.
In case anyone is missing anything. There was a peculiar acting silver hair man in a black/dark mustang sitting at top of ramp. We waited to until he moved to launch and didnt see anyone else around trailers/trucks in lot. He was gone when we dropped vehicle in lot after launching. Our Cat Converter was still there when we got back.
