Put in at Holmes Bend both days. VERY windy 11/25 fished from 8-5. The wind limited where we could fish, but ended up with 22 keepers fishing brush around 25 fow about a foot above the brush.
Windy today but not as bad. Caught a ton of fish shallow (13-17 fow) but all small (alot of 8 15/16, just short)(this may be why so many boats are going up river to the shallower stump beds) so went back to the same pattern and ended up with 25 keepers. Any keepers that we caught, we didn't have to measure (10+) Still hard to fish spots we wanted to fish due to wind. You could get your line down there and get bit, but stayed hung up because it was hard to get the boat to stay still.
Caught alot of the keepers on tube jig (blue with white skirt) casting toward the brush and working the jig through it. The rest came on minnows. If you hooked a good fish, you had to pull him out quick. Boats are still going up river above the ramp so they must be catching something, but did not get to talk to anyone fishing up there.
Hope this helps someone.
Good Luck
