Water temp: 74
Water Clarity: sucks
Lake Level: +8ft

Fishing is very good. I've been out 6 days per week for the past couple of months and it's as good as it will get right now. If not for poor water clarity the bite would be even better. Over the past 48 hours the lake has fallen approx 6ft and due to the flow the clarity has slowly got worse, right now it's 2-3 ft viz tops.

I've been working Spotsticker jigheads rigged Big Bite Shaking Squirrels and trick sticks. My guys have also been working drop shots tipped with Spotsticker Handpours in Melon Murder and Cinnamon Pepper.

Fished with GON writer Don Baldwin yesterday (last picture). Pleasure to meet and fish a few hours with Don. We finished a great article today about deep water fishing on highland reservoirs. The article will print in next months GON Magazine so be sure to check out the JUNE edition for some info on staying on magnum Spots through the Summer months. Caught a bunch of fish in the few hours Don was there including a few 3.5lb fish that will make the article. Same deal, drop shots and jigheads were our ticket. I've been catching fish from 5-35ft and fish are in all 3 stages of spawn right now. Also finished another show with Outdoor Channel's Joe Thomas (first picture) last week. The OTC also sent a separate crew to film the "behind scenes, producing a fishing show" which will be available online soon at Outdoor Channel dot com. Big thanks again to Joe and crew for filming with me and including me in the behind the scenes shoot as well.

Good luck out there. Drop me a line if interested in taking your kids on a fun Summer trip. I have days in late June.

P.S. If you are wondering why the Center Console is so dirty, it's thanks the water level and beaching the boat each day
