Hey all, I have to be honest, I have been struggling during this warm
snap. I have been fishing, rocks, weeds, drops offs, and everything in
between. Fishing has just been terrible. Water is low, we are in
drought conditions here actually, and it has been hot!!!! 90's and
humid. I have been fishing areas that have historically produced for
me, but there are slim pickins! I am finding schools of shad, even fish
feeding on them, but they are all small. The Walleye guys are
struggling, we have no current in our river, so when an east wind blows
it backs up our river and makes things even worse.

I am going out tonight, armed with a push pole and I hope I can pull a
few out of the more dense weeds that hardly get touched.

If anyone has any tips for this kind of situation please share :-D

Chris,
I think you are going for the best bet during these conditions. The
big W doesn't have any really deep water and if there is no current in
the river you may as well hit the heaviest cover you can find.

That is what I have been doing on my favorite shallow lake here.
Moderate success Sunday morning with 6 keepers. A 3+, and the rest 1
1/2 to 2 1/2. Heavy cover was the key. Probly caught 10 dinks also.
