I've been having a blast these past few weeks. Must be some kind of
hatch going on. I've been catching lot's of small largemouths, up to 18
inches and up to 14 inch crappie and up to 2 pound bluegills at night
just as the sun sets and until I stop fishing. I hope the recent cold
snap doesn't slow them down. I think I have tennis elbow from chucking
a storm hopper popper on a 7 foor rod, but it doesn't stop me from going
back for more

It sure has been good,, I got 31 spotted bass in a little over 2 hours
Thursday, (in a soaking rain), nothing big,, all under 2 lbs,, but it
sure was fun, I switched to my Micro ultra light rod after the first
three fish. Those little guys fought better than a 10 lber on heavy
tackle. I was fishing from the bank at the 17,000 GPM pump discharge
that fills this 468 acre lake. The shad were in there heavy, as were the
spotted bass.

This is just one of the best places in the country for bank fishing for
bass. To the shad this spot is like the back side of a dam, it's as far
up stream you can go, and the water is always 10 degrees cooler coming
into the lake, than what's in the lake, because of the source of the
water. It's also narrow, you can almost cast all the way across it
