    Report: Fishing wasnt that good. Most of the bass boats joined the crappie fleet around the north fork marina. So I figure they wernt doing to good with the bass. All the boats were catching crappie but no exstream amount. The bank was lined with fisherman so they had to catch something. Rocky point looked like a circus.

    Tips: If your bass fishing wait till the nights get a little warmer.

    Report: First time on the lake. NO FISH, Not even a bite all day. We talked to three or our locals, no luck or any o them either. One said that a week ago (Feb 12) the water temp was 53, so it's going in the wrong direction. That six degree change must have locked the ish up hard. The lake is awesome looking. We'll be back or sure. It was windy and wavy. We launched at the auxillary dam, the better ramp would have been at the main dam.

    Tips: Be very careul in that rough water. The wind comes down one arm and when trying to 90 across to another it can get bad. Wait 'til the water warms.
