Fished Neely today.

Got on the lake at the crack of noon today (had chores to do this morning) and was a bit surprised at how dirty/muddy it was, I guess all this wind we've been having muddied it up. Surface temp was 69* at noon and 74 at 5 pm when I left.

Longlined 1/16 oz jigs on 3 rods and couldn't keep the baby Stripe off of them! Caught 6 real nice slabs, a 10"er and a few 9"s... which I thought was pretty good for the middle of the day, got a nice little Spot about 2 or 2 1/2 lbs.

The best color for the day was green/yellow Hot Grub, second best was Acid Rain.

I'll post a couple pics later.

Sounds like a good day to me.

Muddy water, no black and chart, thought I trained you better!:D

Ha!!!... I had a black and chartreuse (red head) on for half the time out... nothing but the smallest of baby Stripers would hit it!

You should come to Neely with me one day... bring your black and chartreuse, I love it when I catch most of the fish!!!:p

Finally getting around to posting the pics.

The victims!
