Stripers. There was a lot of single jump activity going on which we felt like had some smallmouth in it.

Was is a single pop or more like a surface break? I ask because there is a difference in how the fish are feeding. If it's a pop, well, you know. If it's a break, then they are probably feeding sub surface and rolling once they get to the top. You want to fish the two differently.

Definitely a pop. Very exciting. We caught a few fish but you would have thought we would have caught more with all the activity. There we definitely stripes in there but from time to time you would see brownish or orangish color like small mouth or carp. My group is still down there. I had to go to work. I know they got their limit in the same areas Tuesday in the jumps in about 2 hours. The last 2days have been cold and windy. They did not even go out today. BG

It was like that two years ago when we were down. Jumps were close to the banks and stripes, Kys and smallmouth were mixed in them. Quite cool not knowing what you are going to catch..

Fished this last weekend. Tons of threadfin balled up and on the surface (starting about 11) in the back of creek. Did not mark many fish though and caught none. Fished 30 to surface and did some bottom fishing for an hour or so. Covered many miles of water looking around and really did not see any fish to speak of. Some friends caught one keeper each in the main lake below Jamestown at 30' about 1:00pm. Guess they were hanging very close to the bottom and inactive, suspended close to the surface and or bank, somewhere else or I was at the wrong lake?

Any body have any luck?

Peter I had about the same results as you did on Saturday. Tons of bait fish in the head of Faubush and White Oak creeks but absolutely no fish any where near them. No jumps, no nothing.

Huge bass tournament out of Conley Saturday and I saw one guy land a real nice bass up in Faubush but that was about it.

The evening bite is still the only good one right now. Trade in the alarm clock for a nice warm breakfast and wait till a few hours before dark. Unfortunately for some reason the most consistant of all morning bite is not happening, just a few spairingly. The evening bite, 2 hours before dark, until dark is where it is right now. They will start to feed and jump during this time. If you are making plans to come down plan on fishing in the evening, it will make the difference of blanking and filling the boat with keepers. I am sure they are feeding in to the night as well but I have been leaving when it gets dark, they stop about 1/2 hour before dark, then I don't know when they start to feed again.
