Tues. 5 Dec

[Stan Wright]

Tuesday I went as far up the south fork as the tressel.... didn't see any dead fish (I was told they were catfish) but I did smell some dead stuff.

Only saw 3 red devils all day. Talked to a guy who caught 7 tukes, we only fished for about an hour with live bait. Caught 2.

Water is really low. Down about 3 feet or more from last Friday.

Saw lots of bait and baby tukes in the very shallow areas around points. But the bass and tukes were not chasing them or feeding on shad. We left at 2 PM.
Did catch two Tukes weighing just under 3 pounds.

I tried the south fork today. I started late, 5:00 because I wasn't expecting much action. It was kind of windy. I was lucky to find fish at the first spot I tried. Caught 3 between 1 and 2 pounds, had one cut me off and missed several others. They were fat and healthy. The school I was fishing was finicky. I eventually got them to bite my lures. I did not see any dead fish, saw some red devils.
