how far up did you go? I put in at Sportsman Paridise and went down river from there.
Lots of shad, you would think some fish and moved up. I was casting jigs and never tried minnows. The bass were biting ......
My 13 year old son was with me and he is learning to worm fish for bass so I tried to accomadate him and I crappie fished best I could.
Not blaming him, don't think I would have done any better if we were both chasing crappie.
