On Saturday the water in the main lake was in the mid 50s. That's got to have something to do with the slow bite.[/QUOTE]
I was out Saturday afternoon and I only found 46 degree water in the main lake/river channel.
The water in the discharge was 55 degrees.
There was a ton of threadfin shad in the discharge. I threw one cast with the castnet and caught over 50 threadies.
I know because they were all dead in my bait tank this morning. I've been having no luck with my new (new this fall) Sunshine Grayline bait tank. I haven't been able to keep more than 10 baits alive for more than 24 hours yet. This new filtering design doesn't filter the scales out of the water very well.
And here is my recipe in the water....2 oz of the blue stuff that bait shops use, one cup of rock salt, 1/2 cup of shad keeper, a few drops of defoamer.
I can see I'm going to have to modify it somehow to make the filtering more efficient.
The old Blue Water tank I borrowed from JK Travecca works a lot better at filtering.
