    Some guys are catching 'em, some of us are struggling. (Notice I said us)
    The water is down almost 3', and temps are showing 44* at Bay Rock Marina, 53* at Captains Quarters, 54* at Gills Creek Marina, and 55* at Mitchells Marina.
    I'm going to try it tomorrow, you can't catch 'em sitting at home.

    I put in at Oak Grove yesterday, the water is as clear as I've seen it in a long time. Water temp. was showing upper 50's, about 10* warmer than up the lake around Hardy last week. It was down about 2 1/2', but I see it has come up some overnight, needs to come up more. The ones I got were on a weightless fluke, in about 3'-4' of water, just casting parallel to the bank. Good Luck.

    I also fished Friday and had a flurry of activity late morning on a Ned rig and quit around noon with eight fish. Fished three hours this morning before the rain started and did not have a bite.
