I fished the west lake for only about an hour this morning before my trolling motor decided to quit on me - probably fished 150 yards along and off the north shoreline, working toward the dam. No action on Senko, topwater, jig & craw, 'trap, jerk bait, or crankbait. Finally caught one of about 2.5 lbs from the bank on a black/blue flake Senko, rigged backwards with fine wire hook and drywall screw. Fished a bit from the bank on the east lake, with no hits at all. In the south lake, The water temperature at trolling motor depth was 54.2° F and the visibility was about 5 feet. East lake had about 3' visibility; no idea of water temp.

Thanks, guys. 2016 was one heck of a bad year for me. New trolling motor should be here Saturday.
