Lake levels are normal, water is heavily stained on knawl creek and clear in the main lake. Water temps were the lowest I've seen for this time of year with morning water temps in Knawl and Bulltown at 58 degress and warming on the surface to 71/72 degrees under the bright warm sun we had over the weekend. Gas prices are taking their toll on catfishermen, last year you had to take a number for a spot on the bank, this year I only saw evidence of one other group during the past week and saw none all weekend

With the great weather conditions the flats turned on for a breif 3 hour period early Sunday Morning up to sunrise. My middle son Jason hauled in this citation 8lb bass that picked up gill dangling on one of my cat rods,,,said it wasn't much of a fight

And my youngest son and his wife Michelle getting slimed by the 56
