with my wife's cousin's husband. He's signed up here but I can never remember his username. dnmelchert I think.

Anyway, we fished Lake Arbuckle Thursday and struck out. It was 87 degrees and a cold front was coming in the next 36 hours or so and we thought we'd have a good opportunity to haul in some nice bass.

That was not the case however. The lake was down about 4.5 feet and the water temperature was around 49.5 degrees. The warmest water we found was 53 degrees but most of the water was below 50.

We ought to fare better on Arcadia. Plus, it's only about a 15 minute drive as opposed to the 2 hour drive to Arbuckle.

The water temperature at Arcadia was 53 degrees on the last fishing report I read...about a week ago...and we've had several 70 plus degree days and one or two in the 80's here.

I know Dave has had some good success fishing Arcadia in the past and catching some five pound plus bass.

I've never really fished Arcadia but I figure we will fare a lot better than we did last week. Plus, the saugeye and walleye are spawning according to a fishing report I read. I'd be happy to catch a nice 'eye or two.

Good luck Coop!! I've never been on Arcadia either, but heard it can be good!!

Well, Arcadia will have to wait another day. Cold front came in early and we got stormed out.

We probably could have made it out anyway, but with the luck I've had fishing with Dave, there'd damn sure be a tornado coming right at us if we went.

Next trip will probably end up being at Lake Eufala in a couple of weeks.

I didn't think the weather was suppose to be bad today.

Hey Coop I have a tourney @ Eufaula on the 28th. When are ya'll going to fish it?

[shortbus]

Not sure. Sometime before then I'm pretty sure. May be that Wed, Thurs, Fri. before.
