Fish On! Was finally warm enough to get out on the lake, I was able to launch out of Mannford, Large shad was readily available. There's no lack of shad this winter there is walls of it in fact about 8 miles of it solid I can't help but think that has to affect the fishing one way or another. We didn't catch much fishing under shad but did get a nice 12lb blue up by applachia bay, I did a lot of big leaps tons of fish on sonar everywhere. Keystone ramp also looked good for launching. I finally found a group of catfish on the last stop pulled one 14lb and several eaters to go with it so got er turned around I was starting to think the muddy water or something had them off. Fishing was best in 50ft of water or more. Water temps was 38 give or take a little on both numbers. Yep found them CPR today boxed 8 fish rather quickly and headed home I'm confident I could get clients hooked up with plenty on a full outing. I've got plenty of openings between now and the first of February. Let's go!
