Any recent reports? Heading down next weekend for a camping trip and plan to do some bass fishing. Would like to get on the largemouth but I think the best chance of that is running to the river and hoping for water release. Bigger spotted bass I have been struggling with down there. No shortage of 1 pounders down there for sure. 

 

Thanks

my buddy fishes tournaments on that lake often. Maybe a week ago he was still hitting them in offshore weed beds about 10-15ft deep. At the time it was with a t-rig creature bait. 

Went down for four days and fishing was tough. Water went from 74 to 70 with the cold front and rain moving in. The wind was rough just about every day and the last couple made running around on the lake rough. Caught a limit of fish each day but really no size. Never got on a pattern just try here and there. Cloud cover didnt think the dock pattern would work to well so just tried cover water. Caught fish on drop shot, jig, rattle trap, shakey head, bladed jig. Never seen any schooling action and never got a topwater strike. Trying to find quality fish was biggest issue I had. Was able to manage one good spot each day but cant find a limit of them each day. Found a couple good largemouth but finding them was tough too. Stayed below Eaton Ferry bridge, dont know if I need to try going up river or what. Hoping to get down one more time before deer season ramps up.
