The lake level is 558.24 and is going up just a little. Both generators are still running. We got no rain here but they did just north of us in the Norfork basin. The surface temperature was 49.5 and the ambient was 74 when I went out yesterday with light wind. I tried for crappie on a slip float with no luck and then switched to the grub and minnow. Nothing for a few minutes and then the wind came up and the skies darkened and the bass started biting about 4:PM. Big ones too. They were on the bottom in about 14-15 ft. of water in main lake cuts. I caught two about 4-5 lbs. and some smaller ones. I fished two like places facing north just off the main lake with the same results. It just goes to show you to fish until it rains you out with the low pressure moving in. The fish were very fat and healthy as are all of the ones that I am catching. All were released but two were put in Tom Kelly's trophy pond. Blackburns is doing a lot of improvements and getting ready for spring. You will like what you see when you get here. We still do not charge for your first boat stall and you can save a minimum of $25/day on cabins with no lowering of quality. Why pay more? No duplexes, all cabins are individual and all have covered porches. We are a bird sanctuary and have lots of them. Deer come to our feeders daily. Come on down. We will not charge you too much. We opened up four more cabins yesterday and now have 10 open. That is not a lot but the rest will be opened as soon as I am sure winter is over. Right now it looks like it and the fishing is getting better. I have been here long enough to not to try to predict the future. Bink caught some good open water fish yesterday. He is catching them everyday on his many shad spoon.
