    I was there for a Tournament a couple of weeks ago...bite was good. Lost 3 good ones who snapped my line. With the heat, go early. Sun-up to about 11 AM is prob the key time.

    had a great day on Crab Orchard yesterday. Several good fish and plenty of decent ones. Black/blue swim jig and hollow body frog in willow weeds. Fished far east end near HWY 148 bridge. Saw 2 boats from 5:30 to 11:30 am. Water temp was 88 deg and you couldnt fish to shallow. Fun day.
