shallow today

man were the fish shallow today. i started probing deep wood(my usual haunt) but came up empty. one tree i tried, i probed all the way to the bank. i found them holding in 6ft on bottom. once i consentrated on that zone i found fish at most of my stops. ended up with maybe 20 or so. the biggest wast a pair of 13s the rest were 10-12s. fished a 2" brown w/orange tail power grub on a 1/8th jig. also caught a couple small lm bass and a rocko that went 12". going out again tonight for a few more thumps then some catfish action, aafter dark.

Thinking outside the box sure made a good day for you. Why to keep on them river scum. Hope the cats cooperate for you.

Thanks for the report. Sounds like persistence paid off!

good mess

last evening was slow for crappie but bass were on good again. i managed a few runt craps for cat bait and got a mess of them. cleaned 12 -16"-22"ers. i hit it at 6:30 this morning. bite was still slow water even muddier. had to work for the 8 keepers i got. nothing over 12" accept a couple of bass. 1 carp i snagged in the tail gave me a ride in the timber. lol
