We haven't been on the lake due to the temperature and the rainy weather. Today looks like we will get to try the water in Echo Bay. The lake level is standing at 745 and dropping a little. The catching may not be as good as it would be if the water was still on the rise but it should still be high enough to find a few catfish in the back water which is about three or four feet deep. We hope to find a few fresh shad which we will be using for bait as well as a jar of shad guts.
Worms are usually a good bait.
It's still a little cool to find many nightcrawlers around the water's edge. We should be able to do that in about a month from now when the water comes up. Charlie will be fishing the Ogeekee Flats area. Mac and Russell will fish the rivers around Twin Bridges. Frank Floyd will fish Horse Creek.
