Out with John E. from East TN today. Water level is at 1076.3, we&#39;re a shade over 4ft high and water temp was 42.5 in the lower/mid lake. John and I sight fished w/ sonar all day, never made a forward cast. We had a good day considering the extreme cold weather and high winds. We caught our fish today on shad imitation soft plastics and a few on wacky rigged worms in Green Pumpkin. All of our spots were caught between 35-60ft of water most were suspended, although there were a few bottom huggers. <br /> <br />Looks like next week will get us back to the 50&#39;s high-upper 30&#39;s low. The bite should only get better with the days getting longer and hopefully a little less rain and a little more sun LOL. Good Luck on the water to everyone. <br /> <br />I have days open in March..... Sight fishing will be strong as well as pre-spawn patterns like jerkbaits, jigs, jig head worms/grubs, and even the FnF bite will pick up so if interested drop me a line, lets get out. <br /> <br />I&#39;ve also added a video section to my site. There are only 2 short vid&#39;s on there now but there will be many more added soon. I&#39;m also adding &amp;quot;video reports&amp;quot; starting this month. These reports will be posted each month throughout the year. So you&#39;ll actually get to see the tackle used not just read about it. <br /> <br />LB
