Between the weather and work I haven't been able to get out much lately.
But... Going back over the last 3 1/2 years that I have owned a boat fishing, in particular quantity, has steadlily and drastically declined for us as the water level declines. The fish are waaay more spread out and one can only catch one here and one there. No more rolling into a cove and getting into them anymore for us.
Not too many years ago between Madi and myself 70-80 fish landed in a day happened here and there (fall). I'd be ecstatic if we landed 10-20 in a day during the peak/best time of the year to fish right now.
So with that said... Lower water levels sukcs and the lake is mucho harder to fish... It has pushed me from the desire to fish Mead to saving $$ for trips elsewhere.
