Thanks everyone who chimed in with info.
We ended up launching at Morgan Creek and fished above and below the cemetery. Reservoir was about 20' from full pool. Water surface temps were 68-74F. Bass fishing was surprisingly slow. We threw crankbaits and tube jigs up and down both shores. The few bass we caught were big, heavy fish. We also caught a few 13"+ crappie on 4" tube baits while trying for bass.
The catfishing was on fire though. We were catching fish from 1-12 lbs, mostly 3-5 lbs. Cutbait worked bets, worms worked too. Lots of fish rolling on the surface and taking crankbaits. The best setup was a bobber and cutbait only a few feet below the surface. Rarely went 30 min without a fish, day or night.
Thanks again for the info.
