Fishing has made a complete turn around to what it was earlier this month. The water temps have creeped back up into the mid-upper 40&#39;s close to the mainlake. The backs of most creeks are still 44 and lower. It looks like Carters is finally in turnover which isn&#39;t helping the bite at all. The water is cloudy and in every creek I marked air/bubbles w/ the graph everywhere. Turnover normally happens in mid-late December on Carters but, the heaviest water is @ 38 degrees, it took longer for us to get into the low 40&#39;s than usual. <br /><br />The FnF bite is completely non existent for us right now. We fished some excellent areas without a single pulldown this morning. We also fished a few brush piles w/ out a bite on fishheads, jigs or worms. I&#39;ve been able to catch fish sight fishing the past couple of trips. Most of the sight fish are suspended around 35-50ft deep. I was fortunate to boat my biggest sight fishing spot of the 2010 season today w/ the dropshot. The spot weighed 5.05 on Cul-m-Rites and 5lb even on X-Tools. It was suspended by it&#39;s self in 35ft over a 50ft bottom. We fished from 8am-2pm, boating around 10 spots. No Carp today, for Bill and I thats rare. We&#39;ve been putting a hurtin on Gold Fish. <br /><br />If anyone is interested in getting out to learn your electronics better I&#39;ve got a few days available. The bite is slow but if you&#39;re patient and don&#39;t mind moving a lot it is a producer. <br /><br />here is the pic of 5.05 <br /><br />LB
