Started around 6am Saturday morning in the first cove just east of the dam. Decided to start in the back but didn’t see any signs of life and was only marking a little bait here and there. As I was working my way out I noticed some fish crashing near the tullies by the fishing dock. Huge shad balls with fish underneath em kept showing on the down imaging. Couldn’t get em to react to a crank or chatterbait, so decided to go finesse and throw a 3in swimbait on the underspin and nothing either. The water was super clear, so threw that same bait on a regular jig head and was bit first cast. Got one more outta that school and then the bait and bass disappeared. It was pretty crowded everywhere else I wanted to fish so I pushed all the way back to the cove near Baltimore and worked my way back out to the main point with no signs of life nor anything showing up on the sonar. Followed that shoreline to the next deepest cove on the reservoir and got two more fish about 3/4 of the way to the very back on tullie lines. All the fish I caught were better quality than I had been catching the past couple weeks, about 1-3lbs. Water fluctuated from 63-67 by the end of the day, so it seems that there’s a mix of spawning and post spawning fish.
