Water Temperature: 80?
Water Clarity: 2-3 feet Went Saturday to Melton Hill. First time there in a couple of years. I put in at Carbide Park. Water temp. read around 65. Not sure that could be right, but with all the water from Norris dumping in there maybe. Going toward the dam the water warmed up about 10 degrees. Anyway, had a slow morning. Mostly overcast and foggy. Started tossing a black buzzbait around the park just down the mainlake and got nothing. Tossed a spinnerbait, same results. Moved to around reactor bend chucked the same stuff and a sammy, worm, fluke. Nothing. Moved farther downlake then found some. I tied on a small jerkbait to match all the little shad flittering around and got some that way. Point hopped throwing that and a finesse worm and managed to get 15 bass. I did get one on a tiny torpedo too. The sad part is that not one single fish would have kept. 15 fish and not one over 12", sad. Had fun anyway. Sunday I wasn't going to go but around noon I had to go again. Launched at the dam that time. Got 15 fish again but 7 would have kept. No real big 'uns since the largest was around 14". So for a 5 fish limit I may have had 7 lbs. Fish both days were in packs. If you found one there would be 4 or 5 fish with it trying to get the lure out of it's mouth. Of course everytime I had that happen the smallest fish in the bunch was the one I hooked. Nice weather and hardly anyone else out on the lake fishing. Must have went somewhere else. Keep it wet!
