Ran stright to the Woods and proceeded to throw about everything we had or the next couple o hours...we blanked big time. We started moving back towards the power lines hitting all the spots that should have been hot...I got a couple o promising strikes worming, & my partner caught a ew dinks on a jerkbait. He igured out that the most productive areas were the cuts that we had by-passed earlier...He produced a 1.5lber and they went cold again. We begain working our way back towards Flemming, and decided to work a rocky point that we had up until then neglected to ish. 2:15pm 6.75lber BLADEING in 15t. o water about 4t. down.

    Report: Well hit the water at 5:45 with high hopes o having a great day. Started ishing a ski area beore the power lines, threw a splashit or 10 minutes then picked up the buzzbait. 4th cast stuck a 2lb'er. Said to mysel "oh ya",proceeded to throw top water or another hour and nothing. WEnt to the power lines and started ripping to no avail. The grabbed the wormin rod and nothing. Approaching 9am, went into Big Creek and started wotming. Came to some allen trees and on the irst cast hit a 1.5lb ish. Next cast hit a dink, thirst cast strike, snag, trolled over to the timber which I shouldn't have. Snapped the line, moved back out and started ishing that area again and nothing. Wormed that bank or another hour and called it quits. Will be heading up every weekend so I can get something going or the start o the Won Bass Circuit in November and the West Coast early next year. Anyone has any tips I would greatly appreciate them. Good Luck out there guys! Mike

    Report: Returned to DP in the middle o the week. Started at just beore 6am and ished until 4pm. The ish were not as cooperative as on Saturday (7/15) but it was still a good day. In general the ish were deeper than they had been only 4 days earlier perhaps a residual rom the weekend traic. I caught 9 ish during the day and all came on worms 4 1/2 salt & pepper and motor oil with a chartreuse tip. Only one ish was caught on a 7 inch red shad, but it was the biggest. As on Saturday, most o the activity came in the am. Wednesday was noticably hotter than Saturday and unortunantly was a clear blue bird day.

    Report: Fished our local club tourney rom 5 p.m. to 11 p.m.. Daylight hours were hot and we got to enjoy the pleasant company o the ever courtious pleasure boaters. Started in the river arm just above Moccason. Started with crank, jerk,and top water baits but ater my partner caught a keeper split shotting a worm I made the switch. 4" green weenie style worms w/red and green lake got me a limit and culling by 6 p.m.. Partner was using the same color but a 4" leech and he had 3 keepers. Nothing great w/ the biggest being only 15" we started working our way back down. Fished the power line area but could only catch dinks so as it got darker we headed to the dam. I switched to a 4" black ring worm w/ire tail and my partner was throwing a 6" black ring worm w/chartruese tail. 10 p.m. on the Blue Oak side o the dam my partner caught a 4.65 lber. which ended up being big ish or the tourney.
