Lakes are really low now

[Big Mac]

I have just read that some of the midwest lakes and power supply areas are falling to record levels. This is bad, but, If you guys and gals take your cameras and photo all of your bottom areas where you have been getting bites or just are courious. You might find some surprises, and be able to map them! Now is when using GPS or triangling from permanent shore objects will come in handy for next years tourneys. Take your bottom contour maps , a permanent marker pen, your camera, and have fun this weekend.

I can relate with you on the low lake levels. We are in a drought condition here and the main lake I fish out of is down almost 7 feet. There is grass growing in places that I have never seen grass grow. Along with this, there are 6 ramps closed and the local power company is ready to close even more if the water gets any lower.

tell me about it... every year they drain the nicest reservoir, with the biggest bass in it around here to EXTREMELY LOW!!! What is usually a 30-35 ft. deep reservoir, is now one big flat all the way across... (approx. only 2-4 feet deep..) And you know a lake is low when you see people in the middle of the lake (Wading) and throwing topwater frogs and buzzbaits.. getting at least a 10 - 12 inch bass every cast...

A nice reservior around me is way way low. you have to walk about 20ft down the side of the reservior on a 60degree angle to get to the water's edge, the water is probably over 12' below normal, from the water marks on the rocks that make the shore, until a recent bout of rain, my pond was almost 2' below normal.
