A friend of mine fished below Wheeler dam yesterday. He reported water temp of 37 degrees and major shad kill. He said most dead were 4"to 6". Gulls, cormorants and white pelicans by the thousands.

They seem to roost there most of the time.

Yea, they stay there all winter. That island would be a good place for a mega brushfire.:D

They were below Center Hill dam today while we fished the Caney for a few hours. Oh, and we did not see one blowup nor did we have one fish so much as follow in that time.

Yep, we fished the Caney and did not catch a single fish! Headed up to the lake to finish the morning off and ended up catching one smallmouth vertical jigging a grub. Those are fun fish to catch, it's like playing a video game watching them chase it on sonar. 18".

Pretty smallie man.

GSP was like creamered coffee and not overly willing to give up fish. Managed to catch a couple striper and a walleye but that's it.
