Just a word for all of you planning on fishing the potholes open next week-end.  Fishing is flat out tough.  Conditions are very poor and I have not seen the Potholes water with that funny color.  We managed to find A fish for 10 hours of fishing on Saturday.  Prepare for a long, long couple of days, fellas.  At least it will be fun seeing everyone!  I cannot figure out what happened to the pond .  Seems others had good fishing last week-end, but the weather and wind must have had something to do with it.  Water temps in the dunes was a chilly, chilly 48.4 degrees.  The weather is not looking to good for the rest of this week either.  It was a cold 29 degrees here in Eburg just this morning with east winds around 25 mph.   Not supposed to warm until the following week.  Isn't that just typical.

Gotfive,

That sounds like it was quite tough. We are just going to have to just hunker down and figure out some sort of bite.

May I make a suggestion- If the weather changed ( Temps) Flip in the heaviest stuff you can find and you should find them. I find at the holes when the weather goes to pot those fish move deeper into the brush and heavy line and heavy jigs work the best.

"Another information-free report from Potholes."  Gotta love it.  You forgot to mention the suffocating algae bloom that is coming off, and the nasty locusts,  too.  Man, I love tourney time.
