Old River Morganza 7-21

[lsufan1188]

Took the day off work to go do some fishing at Old River this morning. Started off bass fishing around 630. Missed a couple then decided to try to drown some shiners on a raft I've had luck on in the past. Immediately started having bites. Pulled in 2 keepers, a few throw backs, and had at least 5 get off or tangled up in the brush underneath within the first hour. By 930, the wind switched and the bite turned off immediately. Moved around a little until 11 with no luck. Decided to give the same raft another try before lunch and immediately started catching again. Put 4 in the boat before running out of shiners and heading back to the landing for lunch with MOslab and SkippaChippa. Picked up 25 more shiners thinking I'd get back on 'em. Hit the same raft around 1:30 and picked up my biggest of the day which measured 15 1/2 inches and a probably a couple lbs. Thought I'd be able to catch some more after the great start but I didn't have another bite for the last 30 minutes I stayed. It was a strange day but worth burning a day of vacation. Once the water drops down to 17-18 ft the fishing should be better and easier to find them.
