Bankers hours today, launched around 0930 and fished until 4 PM.  Threw the #5 Shad Rap for most of the day, fish are still biting it, but you do have to find them.  I caught 20 bass today, 10 of them came off a 100 yard stretch of bank, and three others off a short stretch, the other 7 were scattered.  5 keepers.  I did catch one Ned fish.  

They still seem to like the brown water, up on the bank, I slow roll the Shad Rap in front of the buck brush and usually the bites occur when I am ticking bottom.  They are not slamming it, usually they just load up

WT 49-50.  Hardly any junk in the water now, only saw one floater out in the channel.

Controlled burn going on today, really smoked up one stretch of lake.  Smoke on the water!

 

Quillback - glad to see you covered their faces to protect the innocent ! Sound like a good day. Congrats buddy. Good luck on the one bass tourney!

Thanks for sharing Quill.  I was wondering how the water clarity was and it sounds about the same as last weekend. 

Smoke on the water - Fire in the sky. Deep Purple. Good song!!! Thanks for the report Quillback!!

Quill, thanks for the information. I had something come up so not able to get out Thursday or Friday. We’ll drop off supplies and table before we launch. See you at Eagle Rock Saturday morning. I’ll bring copies of the permits too.

Water color is about the same, may have cleared up just a bit.

Cool, I am going to try and get to Eagle Rock about 0600-0615.  I'm going to hang around the ramp for most of the day.

Be safe and good luck to all!!

I'll be installing much needed new seats in my boat tomorrow, seats in it are only 29 years old. they just don't make things to last....lol

176, I hope you are taking pictures or video of each step as you refurbish your boat. Mine is an ‘87 Cajun and I did just about everything except replace the carpet. Interesting though that I still can’t catch fish out of it but I look good casting from it. lol
