Had to fish 4 spots today to find any fish. Started fishing the boils hoping to get into some big white bass...no go there on anything. Went up to the lake and fished a point that has produced well for me but no go there either. Then went over by the lock hoping for some crappie action...nothing there either. I wasn't going home without finding something to give me a fight. I then headed down river a little to fish a spot close to the "Bill Bellis Botel". Crawled down the bank and found a ton of 11-12inch male white bass. In the mix on occasion were some nice chunky Gills. It was a fish on every cast. Don't know where the big sows were but using the UL with 2# test had a ball. It was a beautiful day. After about 3 hours of non stop action called it a day. The whites have not made their big run up to the dam yet. Water below dam was only 43 degrees. All fish caught on a Purple Redemption Trout Magnet.
Thanks guys. Tnriver I know you fish down there. All the locals I fish with agree this is the coldest the water has been there for this time of year....that they can remember.
