@VT Trainman , pic & +(hopefully)..
Tips , with rapidly warming waters , 3 main areas I always had luck in:
1) the two points at & immediately below (to dam) Dublin Hollow ; between the 2 pts is a shallow flat but a deep (10'+) pool in lower 4th of it ; u can slow troll from point tips back _ forth, or stay in same place, it's oft a waiting game as u know
2) across from Dublin Hollow , Ridpath- the 2 pronged hollow, park off the tip of center point in
cove, again troll or sit & keep slinging plugs into darkness - + on way out of cove@ mouth immediately right, a big flat w/bright light @ house in back corner can be a hot spot
3) from there to damn, anywhere around the little island on R, both off lower (dam side) point or in little canal between island and shore
Water temps pushing 60, we're about @ front door of the night bite, best o luck

....you sharing your spots. We will not be able to get out tomorrow but perhaps an afternoon next week. I will let you know how we do. I was talking to my son (Nick Brown) about having a fun TSL fishing tournament and he is all in. I have never hosted a tournament and I would like to do a summer tournament that people can participate from land or from boat and have prizes for biggest bluegill, catfish, largemouth, smallmouth, striper or whatever we come up with. It would be super low key and more just to gather as fishing TSLers. Do you think that something like this could fly?

I use to fish Friday night bass tourneys, like 7pm - Midnight till I got into the striper/hybrid night bite thing & much rather do that as I couldn't compete with those hardcore Claytor guys ; I think it would involve a special licensing/fees to put one on + once you get into summer, you are sorta limited to night or very early fishing due to the large amount of traffic, jet skies, ride around rec boaters, skiers , tubers etc
