Hi Phish,
Thanks for the reply. I'm not claiming the fishing is poor, just that the low water level (and resulting mud/soft shorelines), long drives from main roads & trash make visiting the lake less pleasurable than before. I'm actually catching more & bigger fish than I was a few years ago before I stopped going out. I'm sure there are some beneficial aspects of the lowered water, but in the long run I can't imagine it being a good thing.
The water had dropped by a couple feet (shore) between thursday before last and yesterday when I was out. Thanks for the info on the continuing drop.
I did notice some weeds just off a rock ledge I was fishing. I'm not sure how far it drops off but I'd imagine at least 10', so the weeds may be pretty tall there. They did hold fish although I couldnt tell what kind.
At any rate, I am glad to hear you're doing well. I sure would like to catch some SMB. I've never seen them at meade so that would be cool. I haven't found any spots that hold LMB's yet either, so looking forward to finding some new spots.
Thanks again for your post. See you there.[
