    Tough place to fish this time of year, haven't been up for a few weeks but might make it up Sunday. Always had best luck going slow and finesse fishing along a edges of drop offs into deeper water this time of year. I always fish at one end or the other it seems. Like James creek area has some good water around it and so does Snyders down around the dam. And if all else fails get some worms and minnows and fill up on panfish

    Any updates on fishing Rayestown? Suggestions on structures to fish or successful techniques?

    Had one of my better days up there last weekend. Caught both small and largemouth. Drop shot in 10-15 ft around grass edges

    I was up there on the 19th. All my fish came from 8-12 ft outside the weedlines.

    Same here, fished main lake weedlines around that 15ft range and caught a few but nothing to brag about this last trip. Hopefully the pleasure boating starts slowing down soon

    Well my boy and I went out over the weekend managed a couple small ones in about 9-15 feet on the weed line. Surly did not set the world on fire. Thanks for the help though maybe try it again in a couple weaks.

    Headed to raystown this weekend. Haven't been there in a month or so. Anyone been there lately to comment where the fish are. I'm guessing they are still scattered either deep or on the grass. Any suggestions would be great!
