It was a good morning then the bite fizzled out

Caught on 1/32 1/24 1/16 even 1/8 at times. Tried a new all black heavy shad scent home brewed plastic and the ol white pintail. Black works surprisingly well! Thanks to hawgchaser (who told me last yr at Buggs bash)

Tryed a few new spots with success
Ended up with a few keepers and a good amount of throwbacks.

Good meeting leaddog, I hope he joins up, Val this guy had a decent limit from cahoon... The fish doc success must be rubbing off.

Good seeing jimb as well hope your back feels better.

Tex Pete I saw you were out there how did you do?

Way to go, used to do real good with a black hair jig at West Neck this time of the year. Black might look like baby cats or elvers maybe?

Nice. Thanks for the report.

Black and Chartreuse 1 1/2 tube jig with plain color 1/32 lead head has always been one of my go to bates.

Great seeing you yesterday. Next time you fish try where you saw me. Also you had some nice fish on that stringer. It sure is nice not spending money on minnows. See ya on the water.

Hey Bennett,
I almost turned around when I saw the parking lot already full at 0615. My buddy arrived at 0630 and we fished until around 1245. Probably only boated around 60 between us both and none of them were over 12" (only 3 or 4 at that size). At the end we could only catch them with a jig with a nibble and a cork set around 2 feet near laydowns. Caught some in the stumps early. Didn't try longlining. Which lake were you on? I didn't see you at Meade.

I knew he would papermouth. I told him where to go. He ended up with about 70 something and keep what you saw.
