Hey Alpha,

Yes, I have the HD di SI on my 997 and HD di on the 597.

We mainly fished the lock area today. The posted flow on OH was 42,200. All the gates were open and there was generators running. We didn't venture over that way so don't know how many but that's where all the birds were congregating. LOTS of birds.
No shad kill by the locks, buts tons of them on the graphs, mostly holding from 8-11 ft deep.
The water temps last week were 39.6-40.67 in the lock area and about the same in the main river. Today it was more like 43+ but not past 44 degrees.

Don't know why we couldn't get any bites today. Fished the same areas as last week but today, nada. One sauger, two tiny catfish.

We watched some Hispanic looking fellas throwing their lines cattle roping style from the rocks and pulling in bluegills one after the other, nearly every throw. None of the gills looked to be bigger than 5-6 inches....but they all went into the bucket!
