It would also pay to stop every now an then to check,say at rest areas.
Your timing should be about right for a decent fishing trip,current lake temp is 71f,dropping some each week.
Pool is at 355 so stay in the channel when on plane.
Patterns main lake pea gravel points at bay mouths,backs of bays,flats next to deep water all schooling action,if not around activity find it,that is the key for success.Ive been tossing nothing but topwater for last two weeks,again activity lack thereof and you get but a few bites.
Even white bass,yellow perch,shellcrackers and bluegill are in on the act,and largemouth are targeting 5-6 in shad.
Warm days slowed that but by then should be full swing.
Enjoy your trip
