Thanks, great work!

We need to know location, gear used, methods, etc...

Best,

I use a mixture of Dawia Tatula and Shimano Calcutta feels for bass fishing, then for my bigger fishing it's all Shimano Tekota 300 reels. I'm on the east coast, South Carolina, but love fishing and the fishing culture all over America. I normally use live bait, but in the spring and early summer lures are used.

I've had it in mind a long time to come up there and fish that lake. Might just do it this spring.

Where are you fishing now?

Mostly Murray.  Was fishing upper lake on Friday and the lake drawdown has the water down about 6-7ft, and also very muddy due to all the rains.  Rivers here have been way too high all winter so I'm just trying to hold out for the spring striper run.

No draw down here. Lake is slam full and clean water everywhere. It turned into chocolate milk a few weeks ago, but it's back to good clean water now. Good fishing all over. I'm actually not fishing in order to keep my spots fresh. I've never done this before. But I do plan on scouting some tomorrow.

Nah don't be. We're in a full blown winter pattern now and it's tough. Problem is we get three days of good weather and the pattern changes again. Guess that's fishing.
