8mm and in the Gravois (6mm) steep banks and secondary points.

Today Jack and I ran to the 8mm to begin fishing and we ran into the Gravois too. Part of our plan today was to check out water conditions and ice to report to you all in consideration of this weekends Bassing Bob tournament. We found that the water temperature in this part of the lake (8mm-6mm and Gravois) has leveled off with many other areas of the lake at 37-41 degrees, the 41 we saw was in the afternoon as the air started to warm a bit. We found the water to be more stained in this area than the mid lake area and the Glaize. Bait fish and fish on the graph seemed not existent. Due to the low wind and the fact that we could not locate bait fish, although somewhat overcast, we struggled to get bit. Only 3 bites all day. We also found that, as in the mid lake area, there is a thin sheet of ice about half way back in the coves that we fished. There is plenty of water to fish, including secondary points, etc., the more shallow areas do have ice. Hopefully this will change over the next couple of days as the air temps warm each day.
