First let me agree it has been hot for the month of August. I fished DVL on the 5th with my brother and we managed eight fish. The largest bass was about four pounds and I caught a flathead catfish that went about 12lb. The cat ate a brush hog in shallow water much to my surprise. On the 19th my brother went and got his personal best for DVL. He caught a 9.2 pound largemouth bass while drop shot fishing in shallow water also. On the 5th we saw bass chasing bluegill at our first stop and had some luck on flukes. Some quality fish are to be had at DVL. Unfortunately you have to be patient right now and put up with the extreme heat we have been having for the month. Fall should be good and good luck!
