After finding what i thought was a pretty solid pattern yesterday, i returned to find the lake worse than yesterday. put in at conley and found MASSIVE debris from just up from conley to cumberland point (mouth of faubush) to around the first point. picked our way around to some areas that have held smallmouth but no takers. wind shifted and debris cleared out a little. fished in faubush with no takers. fished in white oak with no takers. ready to pack it in when boated one 17in smallie. encouraged (teased) proceeded to fish around conley before going in. boated 2 keeper walleye - one nearly 6# before calling it a day. bass sure were not where i left them. pulling lake hard to get it down and to try to "clean up" lake before the big race this saturday is moving fish i believe. temps generally 66-67 and only fished midlake. still with very heavy stain. upper end is clearing out of trash and with only mild stain. talked to a few others today and bass were very slow but walleyes seemed to bite with the overcast skies (and rain). thunderstorms predicted for next 3 days. more rain coming so who knows what the lake will look like. will post pix when i can fix technical problems..........AND NO THE WALLEYE WERE NOT CATCH AND RELEASE. off the water for next 2 wks. be safe and good luck.
