Pool 17 and 18 August 15th and 16th.

That about sums it up. Fishing has been absolutely TERRIBLE. I keep getting IM's from guys fishing the Stren series next weekend in Burlington wanting advice... my advice, bring a good book and plenty of food. Prefished 17 in Cleveland slough, I hate pool 18 so I was planning on locking up. Managed one keeper and very few fish besides that. Prefished on 18 in Bell Pocket saturday. Struggled just as much but did catch one about 4lbs so I decided to stay on 18 and fish bell pocket. I tried EVERYTHING. Managed one keeper. Fished in Campbells slough later and it was even worse. With my one keeper I managed to hold down last place . Crapped away a 13 point lead in the team race. Winning weight was about 6 lbs. No one had more than three fish. That is some terrible fishing.

I'm glad I'm done with those pools for this year. Those Stren guys are begging for info right now. I had one guy who seemed convinced I was withholding info from him sunday . Finally had to tell him that if I had any clue as to what the heck to do on those pools I'd have more than one fish in the livewell
