Arthur report 8/24

So let's talk propagation area.  WTH?  Based on reading I expected some decent areas to fish.  We gave the whole area a thorough look, and it is all super shallow with really nothing worth the gas to get out there.  I am willing to admit we might have been missing something, but I was solidly unimpressed.  
 
We managed two cats that were either retarded or thought they were bluegills.  Seriously... 1' of water and they both hit small pieces of worm under bobbers.  Lost another cat that thought he was a perch (ate a minnow under a bobber) but that isn't all that strange.  Happens occasionally.  Caught one perch, one tiny bass and a bunch of bluegills.  
 
I'm done with 528 side of the lake.  Not only do I not have as much time in, so I don't know the spots, it seems like there's no way to hide from the fricking wind there.  Every time we turned a corner the wind changed direction.  Frustrating.  Anyway, being on the lake is still better than not being on the lake, but the fishing has been really off for us.  Water was 78 degrees or so and murky like pea soup.  

Like most parts of the lake, seasonal movement is key.  I haven't checked out the newly opened area, but I assume it is just like the rest of that arm there, and have never had much luck, besides a few downed trees.  For some reason, it always seems windy out there too.  Guessing it has something to do with direction of the lake there, running from SW to NE, which is the direction of much of our weather patterns?  That said, it seems like 50% of the time, wind is blowing 15-20mph wherever I end up on the lake...  I do like the main section of 528, in the Spring and Fall, when the weeds aren't as bad.
