Anyone fished it, in the last couple days? How's the bite?

[Roofer Billy]

Anybody🤔

Last week was bad because of the weather. I'm going tomorrow for a few days.

Me too. Going to be up around grapevine area

Grapevine ramp isn’t in the water. Use Cholla or Windy Hill. Bass tournament won yesterday with around 20 lbs. me and a buddy went and caught one each.

I have not been down there recently because of water color, it should be cleaned up some. I have been pounding around Windy Hill. 

I see it came up this week to 46 percent, so that's good.

If you have a small boat you might be able to launch at grapevine, no dock. We have all been going out of Windy Hill.

Definitely got a small boat. Took a bike ride last Tuesday. And stopped at school house. That's really low. Grapevine looked okay. I will probably bass fish the morning and depending on the bite. Maybe float a minnow and throw a crappie jig. 

[Roosevelt Mark]

The minnow is your friend, I have had 0 luck on a jig. I don't bass fish much anymore so I got nothing on that. 

[Roofer Billy]

Me too. I definitely prefer Crappie fishing. My Dad and I spent a lot of time fishing with Art Chamberland. 

Where are you getting Your minnows?

I miss seeing Art out there, he was a heck of a guy.

I buy my minnows out of Arkansas, 50 plus dozen at a time. They are certified for use in AZ.

You fishing with live scope over trees and brush? Have You seen anyone trolling,or have You tried . 

I like to troll with two  1)16 oz. Jigs. Of various colors. With a live minnow on the top and a jig with a grub of some color below it. Run about 1 to 2 miles per hour. That always seemed to work best for me. I never seen to find a brush pile holding them. 

Sure do miss San Carlos. Last year was a blast. Hundred plus fish per day .

They are to deep to troll for right now. I love long line trolling but that's a couple months or more out.

I have no established pattern set up yet. I have got them lately off the bottom from 20 to 36 foot. I'm hoping this week they will start to school up and suspend.

I'm no pro, it has been 1 here and there lately. Like they are still spread out, weird.

The only way I can get them is a minnow and a split shot.

Bass are minnow eaters, I catch about 5 bass to 1 crappie, 2 fish per hour roughly. Some days are better. Last week was miserable.

Yes I have all the electronics, don't seem to benefit me. It's nice to see some fish are there but .....

Hopefully one of us can figure it out. 🤞
