drought is a bad thing. here in western NC we've had our share in the recent past, 2001, 2002 (High Rock Lake was reduced to a creek) and 2007. i remember seeing Lake Hartwell, on our way to Florida, and was shocked. heck, just last year many ramps were closed on Lake Wylie due to low water levels. but our woes dont hold a candle to what California and Texas has been through. sorry for my carrying on about droughts. i'm a retired water works guy and had to deal with them more than i wanted to. i also love to fish. my best advice is to be very careful out there if you're in a bass boat. use your maps and electronics to do some looking around for bait/fish in deeper creek arms and near main channel points and other structure. also, make notes (way points, maps, pics) of once hidden structure (or construct your own) so when the rains return once again you'll be slayin them like the pros. praying for rain doesn't hurt either. good luck and stay safe.
