    I was in the lake for a little while Saturday, never took a rod out of the locker. Did put the TM in the water and had to continuously pick that slime shit off. Lake is very off color since it picked up the runoff. I have no plan or desire to get back on this lake anytime soon, good luck is all I can say. Lake has picked up 15k acre ft of water since last week.

    . Farmerman was down here with some other buddies of mine this weekend, maybe he will chime in. I did see one of them headed to another lake Saturday afternoon so I’m sure the fishing was tough or they wouldn’t have loaded up and left. If I were y’all I wouldn’t come down here without several coolers full of beer, you will be drinking a lot.

    It was terrible, Chase had that one little small mouth, other than that all we caught was slime. We left there and went to Hords creek and had a blast, caught a lot of fish. Went to Oak Creek yesterday and it was fun, fished until 2 and caught 10-12 fish, they are healthy chunks!

    Every lake I've been on out this way has that green slimy shit Chance mentioned. Continuously picking it off my baits.

    We had a big group here from Waco this weekend, they had a 2 day big bass tourney. Friday big fish was 3+, Saturday was 7+. Most guys said they caught small fish but they all said the slime was terrible.

    Slimy water is better than no water.

    It's not just out west. Fork has more than I've seen in a very long time. It looks like Ivie, but there isn't as much cover for it to cling to away from the bank. Like you said, it'll be gone soon.

    I can't wait for Ivie to cycle through these next few spawns with this new water. I feel like in 5yrs (if the lake can stay full) that lake is going to be down right fun! Someone go dig up some hydrilla sprigs and transplant it in various areas around the lake. :)

    No need to do that, there was some before the new water and old places will grow back.

    I remember when there was so much grass you learned certain areas you needed to avoid. Choked up the prop more than once. Had a 2 pounder come up on a top water in the Concho once. Missed the fish and he couldn't get back thru the grass. Flopped around for 30 seconds before he found an opening. Funny as chit.
