Just spent the last 7 days on the water. Fished from sun rise to sun set, dropped a night light 2 nights-----Jigged, minnows, naked and tipped, lures--fast and slow--from the dam to the river mouth----Nothing---found a lot of big schools---18 feet in 30 feet of water---NOTHING---will try again the week of 4/29---
Wow, that's tough fishing. Thanks for the report.
I thought about going tuesday but after this report think I will go somewhere else :crybaby2: :dontknow:
How far back in the river did you go? With this lake up do you think they've moved really far back there?
wow thats rough. thanks for the report
Dedicated!!!
I don't know what's going on with Bartlett. I haven't had a good catch there in 4 or 5 years. My old man just got back from fishing Bartlett and only boated one bass and one crappie between 3 fisherman. Well thanks for the report, and better luck next time...

I am planning on Bartlett next Monday ( 04/29) for at least another 10 days. I believe when the bite starts, it will be a GRAND event with many 2 pounders---
Regarding "up the river"---you can boat pretty far up--further this time than I recall---I did graph several schools of Crappie ( Hope they were crappie) about 1 mile up from Ship Rock---
For those who care---the guys camping next to me ,hit Ship Rock ea night, returning with at least 100 pounds of cat fish ea morning--

That's where all crappie are going
Was out there 4-19 all day with Dad
Extremely low vis
seemed like everyone we spoke with was graphing them, but they would not take anything
Not familiar with Ship Rock-where is that
100 lbs of cat?!!? That's where I want to be! lol I just want to catch a nice catfish once in my life.
If I can get my boat soon I might head up there again and try up the river. I've always loved fishing anywhere past the flats, and especially past the no wake. :) I'll be fishing with no graphing equipment so maybe I'll accidentally find them by not following traditional rules. :headbang:
