    Cloudy skies and cool air made for some invigorating runs on the lake today. Water temps had fallen a bit from last week, down into the upper 40s. Water levels were normal. Visibility ranged from 6-18”. I found a good number of bass heading into the back of creeks. Laydowns were very productive with a drop shot. Didn’t produce much on reaction baits.

    Tough fishing across most of what was about the muddiest I have ever seen Lake Tillery, but found bass in cleaner water in a stream above the bridge.

    Water temperatures on Tillery remain in the 58-59 degree range in most places below the bridge. Creep up to maybe the 61-62 degree range in the shallow waters up by the dam in the afternoon. The water remains fairly stained, with visibility of no more than 2-3 feet in most places I saw. Given these still colder water temperatures, most of the bass remain out on the primary and secondary points on the main channel. My only success was with a drop shot in 25-30 foot depths. Some guys shared that they were also catching them in 10-12 foot ledges at the mouth of coves. No one reported seeing anything moving into really shallow/ spawning water yet, but it does feel like we are very close.
