[QUOTE="DrTurkenstein, post: 1135984, member: 8922"] Was out there Monday morning with a float tube and came home with 32 in 4 hours and that was what I kept. 12-16" range Fish the small coves on the west side as you enter into the cut that heads to the dam. I normally use a minnow 12-18" below a slip cork. Throw as close to the shore as you can get and still allow the cork to stand upright. Some of the small coves are just cuts in the bank. Look for wood as there are always fish there but wood is not necessary to catch fish. It's also a good idea to have a second pole with a small white grub on a leadhead or a beetlespin. If you get a couple fish real quick, switch to the jig as it will allow you to spend more time with bait in the water. Work your way south toward the dam along the west bank until you get to the big cove just before the dam. Fish the north bank of the cove and when you get to the log stay there for awhile. There are always fish by that log. I even took a 9 lbs largemouth off that log last spring. That was fun on 4 lbs test! When you get to the northwest corner of that cove, think about anchoring so you can cast right up in the corner. It's suprising the size fish that come out of that corner. Just remember to stay shallow. This time of year all my bites at Steed are in less than 6 feet and the majority are in 2-3 feet range. [/QUOTE]
