I have been pulling cranks the past few days. Caught 9 Saturday and 5 this morning. didn't fish long either day due to big eye. For those that don't understand, big eye is the burning hot summer sun.
Bright yellow seamed to be the color of choice but I did get a few on mistake and white. 1.5 mph 10 lb line 300 series bandits. 82 degree water that was clear on Bankhead lake. No bigguns but all where respectable size. Also caught some nice slimy cats. Trash fish if ever there was one.
