Great day of fishing on Rathbun. Started out up in Honey creek. Fished dead willows 8 to 12 foot of water. Fishing Bobby Garland Baby Shad was ticket. Although numbers werent what they had been the quality was better.Fish wanted it sitting still. 6 down to a foot off the bottom. Had 5 over 14 and lost a legit 2 pounder at the boat that was a 16 incher for sure.The 14 weighed 1 /6 to 1/8 and numerous small dinks. Didn have the 100 plus fish we had a month ago but I will take quality over quantity any day. Had lunch at Bridegview Bait and headed up the lake on a tip. All we managed were dinks but didnt make it as far up the lake as I wanted before we pullled the plug.Guys the fish are there you just have to go out and find them. I dont have pics but do have a couple on my phone if you dont believe me send me your phone number, or ask Don at Bridgeview he confirm. PJ
