drought continues

[dangeruss]

ill try to give a little more info. this lake in South Dakota Im fishin is down aprox 15 to 25 feet due to drought and irregation, weve had zero moisture. i fish the bassin america tournements and this spring when we start fishin, the water temps will be in the 40's most of the shallow bays are smaller or out of the water. 50 percent of the banks are clean sand, no structure, just the declines into water from 8 to 35 feet with some uderwater humps and flat table tops ,all sand. The other part of the lake is rocky, boulder type dropping to 25 to 60 feet of water rapidly, some rocky banks are covered with rough ,sharp rock chunks, bigger than large gravel. This is all near the dam end of the lake. like i said pounding th banks during the spring and summer has been tough, I used to key off on smallies early by throwing a jerk bait or rattle trap,maybe a plastic bait but something has changed, im having trouble finding smallies and largemout near the shore,in the rocks or sand. As for vegitation forget about it!!!!  Even in the summer my top water bite has almost disappeared. what am i doing wrong< my confidence is swaggering!!!! :-/ The lake is called ANGUSTORA LAKE in South Dakota if someone wants to track down a map of it or something for a better source of topigraphical info

When they water is falling the fish will be moving to offshore structure. Some drop shot or carolina rigging might catch some fish.

After the big draw down last year though, will things change? The water level has stayed nearly the same since the irregation stopped last fall. So do you think the fish will be used to the new water levels and move back up untill they start irregating again? Im not sure what to do to start the spring season.
