Fished hard from wednesday to sunday. It was very windy everyday but saturday. Water temps stared at 58 degrees on wed, and was 66 by sunday. Fishing was extremely slooooow. I caught only 4 to 5 bass per day and 95% were 15 " or shorter. I did catch one around 5 lbs on Thursday. She was full of eggs and in very shallow water. I tried points, creek channel egdes, flats, etc....the only place I caught fish had to have rock and grass combinations and all fish came out about about 1 ft of water where the sun and rocks made the water temps a couple degrees warmer. I did catch several nice white bass {sandbass} along the dam riprap on rattle traps and wigglewarts. I also caught about 20 crappie in one small cove in about 4 ft of water, but they were all 8 to 9inches long.
To sum it up, fishing wasn't that great, but this warm weather and falling lake level [ the lake was a couple ft high } ought to have the bass moving in to spawn next week.

we had three couples there saturday and a total of 12 bass between the three boats nothing over 12-13 inches water was a little bit dirtier than it had been did you happen to try okmulgee lake ? when they drained dripping springs to work on the dam supposedly took all fish under 8 lbs to okmulgee and fish over8 to bell cow ,

Fishing was great there today, Could do no wrong. Caught them on a crankbait, Rattletrap, and soft plastics. These are the best 2 of the day, they came from spots maybe 20yards apart.

Looks like the fish D/S give up back in the late 70's and early 80s

Yea I would say it is finaly on the mend from the draining of the mid 90's..

I have gaught several of this quality out of there in the last year or two..

Fun Lake.
