Fished a large private clear water lake that has some emerging weeds, scattered brush a down trees. Found some big females up warming eggs in the ends of down trees. 1/24th BG jig and white shad put them on attack. They were all 12/13 inchers easy to scare off in gin water but did get I did get 8 in the boat for a brief visit. Yesterday found them in 8 fow over weeds. Put nose of boat in wind and locked down. For 90 minutes I caught 10 to 14 inchers on jigs, beetle spins and floated minnows, love to watch the bite. Lost one at boat that was likely 16-17 when hook broke off line while I was netting her. What I get for not retieing. Bite died at noon and that ended the day. Kept 15 of the smaller eaters. Water temps from 52 to 58.
