For the millions and millions of you awaiting my first on the water report for 2007 well here it is.
Temp was 45-46 slight stain with a visibility of about 1- 1.5'.
Windy with quite a bit of debris on the surface.
I did not fish very long due to other obligations, but I did not boat a fish.
I threw 2 jigs and a jerk bait with no takers. There were a ton of dieing shad anything from 3"-12", I figured any active fish were feeding on these or had already fed on them, some shad were bleeding or at least had red blotches on them.
I would like to here some input on what you guys think is causing the die off, my opinion is the cold nights. The water temps on the surface are actually a couple of degrees cooler than the temp is several feet down this may be playing a part.
The recent heavy rains and high water has shifted some logs and deposited them just under the suface be aware of these and take it easy the first trip or 2 up the creek. I only fished to Rockyshores so I'm not sure what changes have occured on up.
