Got out yesterday, fished 7:30-2:00. Surface temp 76 when started, 84 at end. Bite was good til around 9, then slowed down a bunch. Top two baits were flicker shad "orange tiger" and Arkie "marmalade". Honorable mention was "fire tiger" flicker shad. Threw the rainbow of colors at em- pink, blue, black, chrome, gold, pearl, and combinations of em. Yellow/orange seemed to be what they wanted. Water was brownish olive green. Never lost a fish before 9 am, and had 10 keepers. Lost around 10-12 keepers at the boat after 9 am, pushing rods and pulling rods. Was like they quit eating it good and was just pecking at it, barely getting hooked. Ended with 17 crappie and 1 catfish. Didn't wear em out, but got enough to fry some fresh fish while watching college football Saturday. Here's some pics.
