Mickey and I launched at the waterfront this morning at 9:00 a.m. with a slight Northeast wind. The wind eventually turned East and picked up a couple of notches. We rode down the lake aghast because it is so low, seeing things we had never seen. Upon reaching the North end, we started to fish going a long way down the 70 bank with no bites except from gars. All the wooden barges were visible but not all were completely out of the water which surprised me. I figured they would be high and dry. We finally caught a bass on a DT-10 that was right off of some rocks but could not get another bite. We rode across the lake to mark a place for the future when the water comes back up next year and the depth finder just lit up with fish.

What kind of fish is unknown but there are a lot of them. It was that way all over the lake. I hope they are not silver carp. We finally came upon a spot, again rocks, where we caught some on a DT-10 and a River to Sea tactical DD crankbait that dives a little deeper than a DT-10. I got the feeling those fish were just coming up out of the deep to feed. Someone has put a lot of fish attractors out in different spots and you can see them now. It was a lot of them and I’m sure it took a lot of work. Here is a photo of one.

Very simply made, cut open with a reciprocating saw and sunk with a concrete block inside. This was one of four in one spot. We ended up with 7 fish and I guess the largest was 2 1/2 pounds (not weighed).
