Still Shallow but No Females

[TDMartin25]

Last week, I caught what seemed to be all dark males, and yesterday, seems like it was the same. What was pretty interesting is that if I caught a fish on a single, large stump, it was an 11-12" fish, while the ones I caught on barren, shallow bank in 3' of water were all 9.5-10". I did have something else happen that was pretty cool....over the last couple of years, I've sunk several homemade brush piles, but haven't had much success yet. Yesterday, I fished one that I put out last year, and I caught 5 fish, 5 straight casts in a row, so I was pretty pumped about that. I caught all of them about 1.5-2' under a cork on a chartreuse 1/50 oz Bobby Garland weedless jig head with a black/chartreuse Big Bite triple tail jig. The water temperature was 70-73 degrees, so I'm guessing the majority of the females have already dropped their eggs. It surely was a blast!
