    The lake level is basically the same all the time except for the winter drawdown. Its been hot lately. Fish the docks with topwaters, toads and pop-rs, and jigs or maybe a shakey head.

    Week and a half ago it put out 3 or 4 17+lb bags, one being 18+lbs.

    aint that the truth!!

    why not just go another 20 minutes west and fish Ouachita the water temp is 75-77 degrees and the fishing has been pretty good. Lake is about 8 feet low but its nowhere near as bad as it was last year.

    Re: Lake Hamilton??? (stretch)

    A small buzzbait is usually a safe bet on Hamilton this time of year. I haven't fished it lately but if I was going to go tomorrow it would be the first bait I would throw. A spinnerbait is a good second choice or a fluke type bait around the docks. The water level is pretty much the same all the time unless you go after the yearly drawdown. Right now the water is a typical pool. Ouachita is pretty decent right now. Like stated the water is down several feet but that's not unusual this time of year. I caught several on topwater out there a couple of weeks ago. Guys are also catching some on cranks and of course the old standby, jighead worm. Good luck, hope you guys catch a bunch.
