Water is still dirty brown around Big M, not as many leaves in the water and not a lot of big stuff in the main channel, but keep an eye out when you are motoring as there are a few big pieces of wood out in the channel.
I started off the morning throwing a Menace Grub on a 3/8 oz swing jig, caught my first fish on it, lost another one, then snagged up and broke it off. Both bites were right up on the bank, so I decided to switch to a #5 Shad Rap. I had noticed something Bo said in his report about the fish hitting his crank bait near the boat, so I thought it would be worth it to throw the minnow rather than bounce a crank off the bottom. Decent bite on the Shad Rap, very shallow fish, mostly dinks, but a lot of fun on the light spinning gear. Fish were in the muddy water, right on the bank. Caught a couple dozen with 4 keepers. Threw the Ned for a bit and caught one spotted bass on it.
Had one hard puller that got off, I thought I had snagged a big limb, drug it towards the boat for maybe 2 seconds, just dead weight like a big limb, and then it started head shaking and pulling drag. Had it on for another 5 seconds or so and then it just pulled off. Didn't see what it was, I hate big mystery fish that get off.
About 10 of my fish were smallmouth, all up very shallow.
Fishing got slow around noon, I was out of there at 2 PM.
A lot of boats out there today, I saw several bass caught by other fishermen.
WT 48-50.
A couple of pics, they didn't come out too well in the bright sun.
