Great day to ride to the dam. If fish counted like horseshoes then I'd have a million score. There were tons of fish down by the dam but nothing was biting. At least a dozen other boats were there but I saw no fish brought aboard any of them. Me neither. I think I tried it all: different crankbaits, Alabama rigs, jigging and casting.

When I first arrived around 6:20 a few fish were breaking but I only got two casts made, the first snagged an alewife and the second popped the line. Tried there for a couple hours, cruised around looking, tried the basin, and tried along the mountain. Many fish along the mountain but couldn't get a bite. Like I said, great day for a boat ride. Maybe Tuesday.

Later
