Strange things going on Deer creek

[Freakyfisherman]

I started the morning in my float tube on the Charleston side of the lake. Water temp 58 air temp 38. Water is way low already. The island is almost not an island. Did not see much activity on the sonar and even less on the fishing pole. I took a short break for a nap. I met up with a friend and we trolled all over the Charleston arm. On his boat same song and dance, except we covered lots more water than I did in my tube. One hit trolling after 4 hours of effort. Usually you can find trout, bass, perch, crappie, and of course my favorite the walleye. Not much weed growth to speak of except in very shallow water. The only fish I did see were carp and couple of largemouth bass in the shallows. Maybe the fish understand the stress of low water far more than we can understand. I have never seen this on Deer creek in Charleston. This year is gonna be diffrent. So throw out the normal you usually expect at Deer creek. I have only fished Deer creek for 13 years, but this is so strange.
