If I hear south end of the lake is clear I consider the south side of west cove being in that generalization.
I went to west cove on Friday and got skunked in that water you are wishing you were in.
It's also about time of day, I've heard of people sitting on a spot with Jarred and not catching for a very long time. He would say just wait until the water starts moving right, and sure enough they turned on like a switch after a while.
As barely being a weekend fisherman lately I preface my trips with anyone I bring by saying "we are going learn some new spots today, this is an exploration mission". I know that without being on the water a 5-10 days out of the last month there is little chance of stumbling into a mess of fish (unless you are a potlicker).
If I get to a spot I think is holding clear water, and it isn't, I ain't stopping unless something else tells me to be there. Strong south wind will find me running southern banks until I find it.
All that said, my boats about to go up for sale, I'm gonna get a pleasure boat and just pay W and Adams when I want to bend a rod and fill the freezer. I can ski and wake board in dirty water and no tide...
