We went out in the afternoon on Wed. 4/16. Fished Swallow Bay back into Quiet cove. Water is low enough that many previously good spots are out of the water. Julie did manage a nice largemouth dragging a creature bait but lost it at the boat. I managed 2 short smallmouth. Around 1:30 PM we did get follows from bigger laregmouths out by the main points so maybe the bass are moving out in that area. Afternoon surface water temps around 67°, if I remember. Fished till I had to run in with lights. You can still launch at Boulder Basin with maybe 7 ft under the hull, where it was dredged, going across the entry bar.
I also saw a lot more then usual quagga mussels around Napolean's Tomb, Boat Wreck Point areas last time the water was low.
Lost a jig at Swallow Bay to a quagga mussel covered rock. Sliced the 10# fluorocarbon easily.
The Yamaha 225-2 stroke gets about 3.5 miles per gallon at 4000 rpm.
