WELCOME BACK TO OUR BLOG THE LAKE CONDITIONS ARE CHANGING EVERY DAY,FISH ARE ON THE MOVE AND MOSTLY OUT SUSPENDED FOLLOWING THE SCHOOLS OF SHAD AND THERE IS NO SHORTAGE OF THEM,THE LAKE IS GETTING SMALLER AND THE BAIT IS EVERY WHERE FOR FISH TO GORGE ON AND THAT MAKES THE FISHING THOUGH AT TIMES BUT WHEN YOU COME AND FISH WITH ME WE ARE NOT AFTER NUMBERS OF LITTLE FISH WE ARE AFTER TROPHY'S AND MONSTER BASS,BASS THAT LEAVE A IMPRESSION IN YOUR MIND FOR YEARS TO COME THAT IS WHY I FISH AND WHY PEOPLE COME TO FISH WITH ME ON THIS GREAT LAKE. I HAVE FISHED HERE FROM AN EARLY AGE AND I HAVE A LOT OF GREAT MEMORIES AND BELIEVE ME I HAVE SEEN THE LAKE THIS LOW AND LOWER IT'S NOT FUN TO SEE BUT IN THE LONG RUN THING WILL GET BETTER AFTER THE BRUSH AND HABITAT REPLENISHES IT'S SELF,MY DAD LIVED THROUGH IT AND NOW IS MY TURN THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS HERE EVERY EIGHT TO TEN YEARS WE STRUGGLE WITH BOAT RAMPS AND WATER LEVELS. TODAY ITS AT 269.40 AND THAT MAKES IT 31.8 FT LOW WE HOPE THERE IS AN END SOON AND WE GET SOME RAIN. THE OLD VELENO BRIDGE IS ALMOST AT A DANGEROUS LEVEL IT'S ABOUT 1/2 MILE FROM THE PUBLIC BOAT RAMP,AS SOON AS YOU MAKE THE LEFT TURN FROM THE RAMP HEADING OUT TO THE MARKER 11 STAY TO YOUR RIGHT OR LEFT DON'T STAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MAIN CHANNEL YOU WILL TEAR UP YOU MOTOR.TOOK ROBERT DAMTF AND HIS FRIEND LEO FISHING THIS LAST TWO DAYS WE HAD SOME GOOD FISH ON I TOOK THEM AND WE FISHED EVERY WAY DEEP WATER CRANKING AND ALSO DID SOME FLIPPING AND GOT THEM STARTED ON FISHING FALCON LAKE IN THE SUMMER TIME,LEO DID THE BEST ON THE FIRST DAY AND ON THE SECOND ROBERT CAME BACK STRONG AND LANDED HIM SELF A 10.2 POUND HAWG, THAT WAS HIS DREAM AND HE WAS A HAPPY MAN BUT NOT LONG AFTER HIS BIG HOG LEO GOT A HOLD OF ANOTHER MONSTER BASS ABOUT 30 YARDS AWAY AND HE FOUGHT IT TO ALMOST NETTING DISTANCE AND IT DID WHAT THEY DO BEST IT JUMPED AND THE REST YOU KNOW, HE WILL BE BACK!!!!!..
