Don't see many fishing reports lately. What's everybody doing and are you catching anything?
My report is that the lake I usually fish is so high and the water level is so variable it's like fishing a new lake. I have caught exactly zero bass this year. My first time out the lake may have been as much as three feet high - docks are under water, the entire lake is a no wake zone. The depth marker at the landing was under water. Yesterday the lake was down about 18" but still very high. I don't know how to fish it this year. Because of high levels the lily pads are much diminished but the other weeds are so thick you can't get through them. I've had a few blow-ups and a couple on but not one in the boat.
Hope you all are having better luck.
BTW, for those familiar with the Mississippi near the Twin Cities, the island below the Ford dam has become visible for the first time this season. I don't have stats but the river must have dropped at least six feet below the dam. It's a very strange year on the water here in MN.
