      I wonder when the corps of engineers will let them start dumping water out of Clinton? We should meet up out there when they do I have an awesome method for fishing ...more it with a rattle traps when it's dumping out good catch tons of big wipers and usually some decent walleye!

      @Russell Emanuel caught 4 largemouth at perry this weekend 3 in the 2-3 lbs. Range. Sadly only caught 1 keeper during my tournament
    2. Russ Emanuel 0
      went to Perry Wednesday. caught a few smallmouth bass on channel banks in the slough creek arm on a chatterbait. a few largemouth on the rock creek bridge ...more causeway with a crankbait. nothing big. One largemouth was 2 lbs.

      actually the flat I was talking about is on the east end of the dam. there is a flat on the west end also, but have only caught white bass and crappie there.
    4. Russ Emanuel 0
      generally I run a crankbait down a sloped rock bank. with all of the silt at Perry there is not a lot of offshore structure left. along the west end of the dam there ...more is a big flat that sticks out from shore about 100 yards. its pretty easy to find with a fish finder. it is about 15ft deep at normal pool. I have caught bass there. usually end up catching a lot of white bass there also. a 5XD should just tick the bottom there.
    5. Nathan Fideldy 0
      @Russell Emanuel I was only able to catch a 13 1/2 and a 12 1/2. But I had a friend tell me he caught a good bag using a 5xd I have never used one of those. Should ...more i be looking for a drop off or a flat with that bait.

      I've had great success using a ned rig at Perry for smallmouth. Have to finesse fish those reservoir. Smaller baits and 6-8 lb line. Good luck.
    7. Russ Emanuel 0
      god luck. there are some nice fish in that lake, but sometimes they are hard to find.
    8. Nathan Fideldy 0

      lower half of lake between rock creek and slough creek seems to hold most of the bass.
    11. Russ Emanuel 0
      fish the rip rap banks, with bladed jigs, ned rigs or shakyheads
