I'm headed there this week, wondering what kind of water temps I'll be looking at down there.

Sam just fished there over the weekend.

Here's his post he wrote.

Endless, tournament was not that good.

First, my partner's 24 year old motor blew up so we lost two solid hours of fishing.

We did catch 15 bass and one striper but only three of the 15 made the cut.

We left right after we weighed in our fish so I have no idea where we placed. I did hear that a number of boats got skunked or caught only one or two bass for the day.

I was told there were only two five-fish limits caught.

Water temps on the main lake were 47* and 51* in the backs of the creeks.

Heading back to Gaston on the 19th and 20th to fish a club tournament and then the second B.A.S.S. Region 3 Gaston tournament. Hope we do better than we did this weekend.

And yes, my mistake - no dead bodies in Powhatan. ;D

I hope this helps and sorry Sam if I jumped out of line.

Yeah, I talked with Sam after he got off the water he said it was a tough day fishing!

For what its worth, I've been told the crappie have started moving up in Buggs Island.  I'd imagine the conditions are the same.

Endless. No problem. That is why we are on the Forum to share information.

Fivebass, lake water temperature was 47* and in the back of Holly Grove Creek past the bridge it got to 51* during the overcast day.

Hope water temperatures rise to get the big ladies active.

From what I understand, most fish caught this past Saturday were in the creeks.

We got ours on silver with black back and Incandescent Shad Raps and one on a spinner bait.

Nothing hit any crankbaits or plastics.

Good luck and let us know how you do. 

Heading To the lake house this weekend on gaston.I'm hoping the water temp will have raised due to a week of decent warm weather. I'm excited to go I'll be on the water friday thur sunday.I'll be in the lizard creek area.good luck to anyone going this weekend.
