Water

Heavy to slight stain 61.4 at the ramp in the AM and 66 at closing time-71.2 degrees in downlake coves

55 bass-all under 3#, 2 catfish, 3 bluegills

Lures

Chatterbait, finesse worm, crankbait, 4" curlytail worm, spinnerbait

Depth

2'-15'

Method

Wacky rigged the finesse worm weedless and exposed point, Tx rigged the curlytail worm Since the water temp was about 10 degrees cooler than last week due to the rain and cool weather, I looked for the warmest water and found it in the back of coves down lake that were somewhat clearer and out of the dirty water current. Most of the fish were at the outside edge of the weeds that were formerly at the water's edge.

Comments

The water level was about 2' higher than last week and had been higher by about another foot to foot and 1/2. I saw several schools of bass fry along the shoreline. The projected full pool lake level is sometime in June or July.
