thanks for the tips - we ran down to the dam and pulled u-rigs Sunday morning - no bites. we headed back up the lake and saw a large group of boats with down rods fishing where you would go left to the dam or right up a big creek. we marked lots of fish in that area and pulled the u-rig around some more with no bites. saw one boat land about a 10 lber. decided to go bass fishing Monday morning since we didn't have bait to striper fish. fished for an hour and caught 5 bass - 3 small KYs, 1 bigmouth and a nice 3 lb smallie. all fish were caught off of wood with a spinerbait or crankbait. the deeper the laydown the better.
