Tough weekend of fishing.

[Mac Daddy]

Fished some of Friday and all day Saturday at least between storms. Had to set out a couple times for a few hours to let the lightning pass. Friday was tough for sure only caught 2 that morning, but went back out around 4:30 and fished about 3 more hours. Wasn't catching them as I expected trolling cranks fishing around 9' deep. Finally decided that maybe they weren't that deep when the wind calmed down and I noticed a lot of shad on the surface. But fishing so shallow put my cranks so close to the boat and I think the boat was spooking them. So I decided to use planer boards to get them away from the boat. I also thought it would probably be a disaster using them in so many stumps. It wasn't easy, but it was the ticket. Started catching some within 5 minutes of getting the first one out. Didn't get to fish them very long till I had to go. Saturday the weather was tough. But my better half stuck it out with me and we finished the weekend with 24 many of which were really nice. Sorry for the ice chest picture, by the time I get home sometimes it's too late to mess with a tail gate picture.
