The water is down about 5 feet. There is shade in the lake now. Before they only had talapia now theres shade which makes things a little harder than before. The talapia stay close to shore so pitching jigs and worms to the shore made it easy to catch fish. Now the shade adds a whole new angle. The shade run deeper so you have to fish deeper. You know how it is out here on the west coast, when the shade is up the bite gets tough unless you know how to fool those shade bitters.
