Mother of Pearl and Chartruse Shad are by far the best colors. I have tried them all. It shows them with a split ring in the catalog and also online, but most don't have one. I use the Owner feathered hook or the Gama. if there is a chance White bass are in the area. If just looking for K's and Walters, just the death trap, no feathers are necessary. Don't believe they hurt but it also adds two dollars to the cost of the spoon. I did not have a bunch of keepers yesterday. I think maybe 8 K's that would have gone 15". Most were just healthy fat 13's and 14's plenty fun to catch and release.

Met up with Rod and Will Sanders at Eagle Rock this morning just before the first Roster Crowded, and headed down stream. Handy place to meet these regular clients that come out of Bentonville. Have been taking Will since he was about 2ft. tall and as you can see he has grown a might. Really if you will put your thinking cap on the Upperend right now from Eagle Rock to Baxter is all fishing pretty much the same and that is OFF THE CHARTS!!!!!! Yesterday Beck Launched at Baxter and fished to Campbell Point, putting over 50 spotted bass, 5 kittys and 5 walleye in the Phoenix 921. Said he used close to 150 crawlers. Who in the world carries that many. I wish I would have today. Surface temp this morning was 83 with a pool of 909.6 and water clarity in the 12' to 15' range. My graph shows the thermocline at 32 to 36 ft. at Big M. Fished 3 locations on the White River today and caught and released close to 50 spotted bass, big crappie, 1/2 dozen white bass and put 3 walleye in the boat with 2 keepers. Had 2 real toad eye's cut the line at the boat. Boys got a bit excited and were a keeping them on to tight of a leash. Again, with that spoon I managed to kill one of the nicer eyes and the crappie. We kept 1 other white bass for a total of 3 victims. If a fellow is good with that spoon right now, that is really all you need in the boat. The biggest walleye that I caught on the spoon and released had 3 baby Kentucky bass in its mouth that it spit on the deck. Most of the K's were just full of shad, fry. About 1 inch max. long. Also caught several K's that had 4 inch Kentucky young of the year down the hatch. Seems they are feeding on them about as much as the shad. If I were a bass fry I'd stay off the runouts and bluffends and move to the backs of the pockets. I believe the reason they are out there is that there is no longer any shoreline cover for them to hide. This could be a real bad thing for this years hatch. Guys, I never suggest this but now is the time to do it. With the bass chasing such small fry on top they seem to have no use for a topwater bait. Couple of suggestions. First, pull into the school and drop that 1/2 spoon. You will see them all over the graph, and they will hit the spoon with relish. Second. They will also eat a float-n-fly right now. Put the 1/32nd. oz jig about 6' under the float and throw it into the school with the chasing fish and bang the float and see what happens. They will eat it. Jig is the same size as the dime size shad. Also have you noticed the large ammount of Great Blue Herons on the shorelines. These predators are around the Rock in numbers that I cannnot ever remember seeing. I believe pickings are pretty easy for them with no shoreline cover and this low water. Tadpoles, crayfish and fry of the year are in real trouble with all the birds of prey. Thats all for now from beautiful Eagle Rock, Missouri Good Luck

Saw a guy pull a tube inside the bouy point across from Roaring River this morning. That water is but a few feet deep and there is a woven wire fence and barbwire along with steel T post all over that runnout. They are pullingt skiers and tubers all over Brushy Creek over the tops of that pole timber that is inches not feet under water.

I have yet to find a better spoon than the Real Image. The one with the Chartruse back and pearl belly is just off the chart. Quill you are right the hook is OK to Good, but if you put a Death Trap on there, something is going to bleed. Maybe you if your not carefull. Ask my old Champion 200 Pro Elite. Those hooks will grab a seat like a Pro Basketball player after a groupy.

RPS funny you mentioned that nice bluffend at Viney. couple of nice pieces of brush on it and I always hit it when I'm in the area, which is quite a bit. I have caught as many Walleye there as any place. Most on a stickbait early in the year." January and February." On that nice transition. You need to petition the school district for an after the holiday start. Always hate it when you go back to work as the info from God's country seems to get pretty slim. Have you thought about another retirement. Really, fishing everyday year round is pretty fun and for sure there are no irate parents to deal with. Just Sayin!

White River Outfitters Guide Service; Table Rock Lake Stats: Level 909.8 Clarity Lake wide 15' visibility Surface Temp 87 Got a real good prespective of the Rock the past 3 days and have been on the majority of the White River section. I'll Start with the report from Table Rock Dam to Point 9 Early seems to be the best as usual. Been starting at 0600. Some of the guides are finding a topwater bite early in the vicinity of the State Park, but this area has been crowded so I have been fishing from Combs Ferry up the White River. Fish for me have been on the steeper bluffends and chunky Knarley points. Both suspended and on the bottom in the 28' to 42' range. We have been catching some thumper Jaw's and some very nice 17 inch K's. Crawlers and that expensive Yamamoto 4" purple cuttail have been by far the best with the spoon a close third. We are catching most of the Walleye on the spoon. I am really sold on the Cabelas Real Image and I put a No. 4 Diiachi Death trap on it. It gives them a real nice Ouchie. Point 9 to Mouth of the Kings; This lake section has been as good as any on the Rock and it usually is from July thru October. Lots of Humps and deep runnouts and channel swings. Most are holding fish. Depth in this lake section has been in and around to 30' to 38' range and the best bite here is on crawlers, nothing else is coming close. These fish have had lots of play, and if it ain't wigglin they are not having it so much. Lots of guide activity here for that reason they are biting. This section has also produced the most Walleye of any for the past few weeks, and also just about the best catfish bite we have had here in a few years. Not uncommon for these guides and their clients to catch 1/2 dozen kitty's up to 15 pounds per day. Nothing special, just dangling crawlers for K's. Note to RPS ( You have my persmission to expand your comfort zone, and move down the lake. Might me a good time next week with school starting everywhere and the majority of the wake boats off the lake during the week.) This area is a ski zone and usually will rattle your guts out if out past 7 or 8 in the AM. Not so much starting next week. Rick Lisek had 3 big keeper walleye this morning and 2 others get off at the boat, so they are doing very well here. Kings River to Rock Creek on the White River Best topwater action the past week, but they are picky. Threadfin shad are about the size of a dime so you got to thing small or for that matter just drop a crawler of a jigging spoon thru them for better success than the top. Walleye here have been on the steeper stuff, most usually located just to the insides of the major lake bluffend cove mouths. 26' to 36'. I think the Walleye bite for me has slowed down, but the K bite was good today. Started out on Viney Creek and had 1 on a Swimmer and we missed 1/2 dozen. Denny and Champ 188 waved us in on some schooling fish and we caught 2 here both on a grub. Moved to Emerald beach and caught 3 on a crawler. Moved on down the White and caught 5 on a spoon and 3 on a crawler on a little flatter stuff in the 28' to 36' range and then caught 2 on seperate bluffendds. Crawler. Fished 3 docks and caught 1 off one and 2 off the other 2 on a spoon and Yamamoto cuttail. Had noticed some fish working a long flat that we pasted earlier in the morning. I had something in mind and blew them off. Back to the old addage, "Neve leave Fish to Find Fish" Noticed some fish still working that runnout and hit the jackpot. Used over 2 dozen crawlers here and caught about 24 on the combination of the spoon-cuttail and the crawler. These were quite abit shallower. Most in the under 25' range. Also caught a huge Gill here and would just guess the flat would be a bonanza for the cricket man. Called it quits at 01030. Good Luck

Hodge, I must have missed this. Would you please take the time to fill us all in on times, cost, hours and limits for these derbys. Also can you pay at the ramp and who is running this. What is the payback schedule and is there a big bass pot or is that just in with the entry fee. Please let us know and if I have missed this information, I am sorry. Good Luck

Good to hear from ya T. Beck had 57 bass 6 Kittys, and a short Eye this morning on his trip. Most fish are coming 36 to 45 on the bottom. We have been fishing crawlers, but you can also catch them on a dropshot worm or a spoon. Not as good, but you can still get bit pretty good. Especially on the Walleye, they are just hammering a spoon on the steeper stuff and have been hanging pretty close to the channel drops on the runnouts. Point 5 to point 12 have been really good. Don't know about your jig bite, but I'm sure we will after you go, as I would think you will have a hard time not throwing it. Good Luck

I know in the last few weeks, Bill Beck, Rick Lisek, and Phil Stone have all had walleye over 8 pounds in the dam to Kimberling City Area. Bill has been fishing Kimberling City to Campbell Point a bunch and has had walleye most everyday. Sometimes as many as 4 per day and usually at least that many nice cats up to 12 pounds. Told me the other day he had about 30 bass, but didn't have a walleye and it just was not the same. Ahhh!!! These walleye have been biting, I just got lucky and got in on it for once. Good Luck

Very good info. I usually have a 6 oz. Big Bell Sinker that I clip on the line, but was not intending to fish much. The spoon was for white bass or throwing a long way to catch chasers. I had it on 8 pound test. When we are jigging in the Winter, I use the heavy stuff. Sometime I add a stinger to the treble hook. I'm a little shy to depend on a single. I can see how it would be a very big help in brush though. I really like either the Owner with the cock feather, or just a plain Diiachi Death Trap. I usually try and stay out of the thick stuff. Fish were just not where I thought they would be yesterday. Suprise, Suprise. Again, excellent information, and thanks a bunch. Good Luck

Which Indian Creek, at Baxter or at the Dam?

This may be one of the most helpful reports that I have posted in some time, and I really hope it puts you all on some fish or for that matter, just clues you in abit. Couple of different things starting on what I did on my guide trip this morning. Should help the upperend guys. Picked up Jim and Jake at the Shell Knob Ramp at 0600 to a pretty cloudy sky this morning with water temps at 86.7 and clarity at gin. Lake level at 910 even money. Did a bit of crusing to see if I could see any chasers as that is a great way to start weather they hit the topwater junk or not. It solves 1/2 the puzzle, in you have found the fish. Just have to make them nip something. Looked high and low on most of the rolloffs between Campbell Point and Big M, and nothing to speak of on flat gravel, humps or channel swings that was of interest. "Well, at least not to the fish." Not much of any surface activity. Did see a couple of boils off the steeper ends up the White and so we fished these, at first for suspended fish. Jake and Jim were Holt, Missouri catfisherman and liked the idea of dangling livebait to suspended fish. Said it was right in their wheelhouse. I rigged the boys up and sat back to survey the graph after dropping them to what I thought was the appropreate depth. Jim looked at me and said "where is your pole?" I said, " I try and not fish so much so you boys can catch them, you don't need to see me wind them in." Jim reeled his bait up and said, " You don't fish, we don't fish. We are here to have fun and expect you to have as much as us." I said,"I'll piddle some if it makes you happy." I started jerking a 1/2 oz. Cabelas Spoon to the suspenders, and the boys started catching them here and there. When I tried to take a fish off or bait a hook, I got in trouble and after a while they started to tell me they were whippin my hiney, and I had better forget that spoon and fish with live bait like a real man. Pulled into a bit shallower water on the same bluffends we were fishing. 27' to 42' and it started. I had the boys one crank off the bottom and I jerked the spoon bottom to about 10' off. Cannot remember the time that my boat caught 8 keeper walleye in a single day, but we did it today. Small one at 19" big one at 24" All were released except one that I deep hooked on the spoon, and ripped out a gill. I had 6 keeper walleye on the spoon and Jake had two on crawlers. At one point I had 4 keepers in 6 drops. Tried to put up the spoon, but as soon as I did, both boys reeled up. They were more than serious about me fishing. I guess today I was livin the DREAM. When the smoke cleared at 10 AM, we had put 45 bass and 8 keeper walleye in the boat, with only one of them remaining, due to illness. All our fish came from the mouth of the Kings River to the bluffend across from Big M. Not a single fish on any flat gravel, all on bluffends, all on the bottom. We did loose between 8 and a dozen dropshot rigs and I lost 4 spoons, in pole timber. We were in some pretty knarrley stuff out there. You could not drag it one inch, just straight up and straight down. Seemed to get lots of bites redropping the crawler, almost like the spoon bite. They would just slam it on the fall. Boys caught plenty on their first drops when it was headed to the bottom. As soon as they would close the bail, the fish was already there. Caught fish off 8 locations, and fished twice that. On another note, I had a diver tell me today he dove the dam area this weekend. He has been diving the rock for the past 30 years, and dives all year, even in the Winter. Here are some of his thoughts; How deep is the thermocline at the dam? 30 to 35 ft. Temps above that depth is 85+. At 35' to 42' temps at 56 degree. Now you know. What is the water clarity? 20' from surface to thermocline. Below thermocline 50' to 70' gin clear. Bill said this is the clearest he has seen Table Rock since he started to dive in the late 70's. They were diving at 75' without a light, and he said he cannot ever remember doing that. It is bathtub clear. Where are the fish? In the dam to point 5 area, pole timbered points, bluffends and steeper banks were holding lots of Kentucky's, Largemouth, and big Bluegill in the 17' to 35' range. Most all these fish were suspended and seperated, in the timber, but not relating to it. Just on the outside edges or hanging inbetween the poles. What do you see below the thermocline? Not much. a few Largemouth hanging off the bluffends in 35' plus, and they were big ones, but only one here and there. Most fish suspended at the thermocline or at the bottom at the top of the thermocline. Did you see much bait or small gills or crayfish? Not much, most fish were good size. Hope some of this helps. I found it very interesting. Had several good walleye pic's, but for some reason the site says file to big to load. Why is one pic at 1.62 MB and the next 5 at 2.41 MB? Sheech!! Good Luck

That was my buddy with that big Rainbow. Wait a minute. That is just what i said about the big one Beck guided his nephew too. This is getting to be redundent. I need to get in the act. Where was that fish released? Great job by all, that was a true "Net Full."

Be out of Shell Knob on Tuesday Morning. Probably will not give the locations as I did in the dam area, but will sure if I am smart enough to figure it out post depth and structure I find them on. Should be very similar to the dam area. Seems Baxter is pretty close and RPS is reporting the upper end pretty much the same. Am guessing the Knob will be right in line. Good Luck

No need to fizz the fish if they are not caught deeper than 20 ft. and if they do not show signs of roll over. Your problem is that you are getting hot lake water in your tanks, or the lake is just to hot when you start for the ammount of Ice you are putting in. Most livewells hold 20 gallons of water per side, or 40 gal total. MIne holds 30 gallons per side. If you are trying to cool 320 pounds of 85 + degree water with 20 pounds of ice, that may not be enough. Fill your tanks up at home with the hose, running as cool as it will get. If you have a freeze proof faucet on your well pump head, fill it from there. That is going to be 55 degree water. From there, put in your livewell fish treatment and 1 10# block of Ice in each well. Make sure your valves are shut and run it on recycle. IF you have a water softner at home, run water into your wells from that as the salt content seems to really help keep the fish on an even keel. You might have to add a bag of Ice to each if it is warm to start with, for a total of 20 pounds per side. Tap water is usually 60 to 65 degree and may require more ice to get it cool to begin with. Another "HUGE PROBLEM" is if you have deep hooked a fish and you allow him to bleed into your livewell. If will not only kill him but usually every other fish in the well this time of the year. A biologist friend of mine said fish cannot process bloody water thru their gills in even very small ammounts. If you have a bleeder, for gosh sakes keep him by himself. Great advice from jmes. It's really time to stop derbying for the year. Fish care is a huge issue when the surface temps reach high 80's and now may be going into the low 90's Good Luck

Fished the dam area today putting in a State Park ramp at 0500 Still abit on the dark side but good enough. Today, I am going to give you each spot that John my client and I caught fish on. "Or, There Abouts." Surface temp at the start was at 87 degree with water clarity very clear. Lake at 910.9 First location was the Spillway. Started out on the middle bouy and fished out to about 50 feet, using crawlers on the bottom. I was using a Yamamoto purple/brown 4" cut tail and John was on Crawlers. I caught a short Smallmouth on the first drop at 35' and John shortly had a small K at the same depth. Drifted around abit more waiting for better light to run and then headed over to Combs Ferry. Pulled in off the point in 25 and drifted in the 25' to 40' range for about an hour, catching 2 big bluegill and 4 very nice keeper K's. 3 of them out of a piece of brush, at 35'. All fish were on the bottom. Moved up the lake to Panarama Point, very tricky location to fish due to lots of timber. Saw no fish on the graph, and here you are fishing for suspenders. Looked from 50' to 100' over trees, and nada. Moved to Kennel Branch and fished the middle hump on the long flat runnout. Caught 2 very nice K's in 35' on the cuttail worm. John missed one on the crawler. Saw Pete Wenners and he was doing about the same, 1 here and 1 there. Moved to the center pin in Cow Creek and started at 30' and worked out to about 50. John had 4 nice crawler fish here, all keepers. All on the bottom in 35' Seems it was the magic number. Moved to the middle hump at Point 5 and John caught 2 keeper K's and 2 catfish all on the bottom at 35' on crawlers. My cuttail didn't work here. Moved to one of the long flat points just up stream from Point 5 as saw fish as soon as I shut the motor off. This is a great point and they were there. Mostly at 42' on the bottom and suspended up "Worming." John caught several here on a crawler and I didn't fish. Was busy taking his off. I will get a bit vague on this next spot, as it is a tournament dock. Since we are not derbing right now, we dropshotted it. 16 fish off the shady side and in the front stall on a crawler and a cuttail. Fish were suspended at about 35' over 80' on the front of the dock. This dock always holds fish. When I have two clients it is hard, but with one, it is a blast. Off the water by 09.30, fantastic day. Good Luck

Really a good walleye fisherman should not suffer on Table Rock. My best clients are Great Lakes and Northern US and Canada Walleye fisherman. Not unrealistic to catch 30 to 50 fish a day right now. They are biting very well. Not so much the White Bass or the Eye's, but the K's are just Be-Zerkers at the moment if you will do what they want. Most of our fish are coming from depth. As RPI stated in another thread yesterday, I believe we have a hard thermocline lake wide at 36' If you remember a week or so I found it. Stuggled one day shallow and moved out and Yippie! Best bet is live shiners, crayfish or crawlers. You can dropshot these or just splitshot them. The critical factor is to have good electronics and know how to use them. Most fish right now are located on midlake humps, not necessarly on the hump, but around it. Lot on your GPS map and chart those areas, or buy a lake map for your section and look for these locations. Best humps right now are toping out at 30 to 40 ft. Also follow the long flat gravel points out to depth. Start looking at 30' and move out to over the channel in 100+ Looking for suspended fish at that 35 to 45 ft. range. Look on the shady side of the deeper docks. Not so much in the stalls, but out off the ends and also follow the dock cables or No-Wake bouy cables out. Look at the 36' depth range in and around, not so much right on this structure. Get out early. Be on the water now by 5:30 and off by no later than 11 AM. Took a Walleye guy last week that had 3 HDS 10's on his console. He had a full screen map, a full screen side scan and a full screen sonar. On the bow he had 2 HDS 10's For a total of 5 One on down scan and the other with a split screen of Map and Sonar. He did know how to use them. Said he used to fish the PWT. He was from South Dakota and fished the Missouri River Chain for Eye's. He had them on a big Lund. Price tag on the rig, decked out as he had it was over 80 big ones. Another note is the guys are really catching walleye and big cats with this tecnique if it is near the bottom. For the last month white bass have been non-existant. Sorry Good Luck

Pretty good sized guide trip out of chateau on the lake yesterday morning. I believe 8 guides fishing 2 or 3 clients each. They were having a little fun 3 fish per boat derby and I believe only 2 guide boats weighed in any fish at all. Deep fish caught with a crawler rig. Denny went yesterday with the grand kids and had a very good day dropshotting the night crawler for the kids and I believe he fish a cuttal and a craw. I believe they caught them pretty good yesterday. Suspended over deep water points. He may chime in. Dock bite has been about the only life down there once the sun comes up and most of them are just getting hammered by repeat customers. Have heard of a few fish being caught suspended at the Aux. Spillway. No White's, but K's. Most are being caught at 35' orver what ever. You just have to move slowly aroiund till you see one on the graph and drop to it. Good Luck

Beck had the same kind of a day I had yesterday, at the same 35' Plus, but most of his fish were suspended over depth. They have moved out weather suspended or on the bottom. New starting location is going to be for me 30' Plus.

Everything we caught Sunday would not have weighed that much put all together and was for sure not that pretty. I do mean the fish. Way to put a recovery on a more than way tough day.

You know, I don't know if it was me or not yesterday. I'm sure my clients thought so. It is strange on the Rock to put either two stinkers or two great trips back to back. I think most probably if we have a stinker we try something else. If you do have a good day here and go back to the same deal in the same locations, it can and most usually is a problem. I never for the most part fish the same water the same way on back to back days. Usually I try a different lake section even if I do well the previous day. With a day of rest between me barging around and creating havoc, it usually pays off. Some days no mater what you do it is the wrong thought no mater what it is. I can pretty much tell if I'm off to a bad start and it is hard for me to get it changed in such a short trip even if it is going bad. You simply work as hard as you can and do what you think is best reguardless of outside influences. The fish dictate most of this and we as fishermen try and bend them to our way of thinking. Usually does not work out. If we adapt and give them what they want the way they want it there is a peace in the world. Forgot to mention this morning we had a dandy 8 pound Kitty. Every one of those rascules is still swimming. More educated but better exercised. Good Luck

What a total difference a day makes. Seemed to be the same sort of day today,however there was a little less wind and a little brighter. Still not bad. After the butt beatin I took yesterday I was just a little on the leary side when I started out today. I was however armed with a little more intel and a much better set of ammunition. Does not happen often, and I will for sure tip my hat to Mr. Keith Gimlin. KG called me last night to say he had fished pretty much in the same water as me yesterday and had done very well with close to 20 fish and 3 keepers. Not only did he call to tell me how but also where and what on. Good Golly!!! Have a hard time getting that kind of info. out of Denny and Champ, let alone a total stranger. We did have a common bond as we are both C Of O grads. Knew that would pay off some day. Keith, I tried your stuff from 5:30 till about 6 AM. Picked up the boys at Big Creek and smoked it down there. It was pretty calm when we came onto the location, and we fished from the bend in the back corner out thru the two docks we discussed. Sorry for me today as they must have loaded up yesterday or I was messing it up. We did have one really nice K there on the first cast and I thought gosh this is swell. That was the kit and cabottle. Really appreciate you going out of the way to help though it was very nice of you. Went back into Trace Hollow and caught 5 suspended in 25 or 55 and then moved back up the lake toward Big Creek. Just could not believe i could not get bit on some of my usual stuff and bowed my neck and started in. Today we had Night Worms and were not afraid to use them. Big Pulmp Fat ones. I think yesterday I was fishing a little to shallow as today as I drifted a point in the same depth I had been fishing I came off the end and all of a sudden the graph had a serious fish attack. Marks started screaming everywhere. Singles, Doubles, Triples, and even some Quads. Found the right kind of structure and depth line and it was deeper, out to 48ft,. Best depth in the 36 ft. range, fully 10 deeper than Thrusday or Friday. These fish had moved out big time. Most on the bottom, but some suspended. I'm going to guess we had today 40 plus fish with a solid 20 keepers. Nothing big or a monster by any means, but lots of 15 to 16 inch fish. What a total shock from yesterday. One triple and at least 3 doubles. Used 48 crawlers, and 15 Yamamoto 4" cuttail dropshot worms. Very few if under 5 worms that did not have a fish and caught multiple on each dropshot worm before it gave up the ship. Yesterday I fished shallower with a completely different worm, No live bait. Buster gave me a tip on the worm selection, and was just spot on with his choice. Sometimes it works out this way. As I have said a many a time, "The more you think you know, the less you really know about Table Rock Lake." Good Luck

On some of the locations I fished the bottom was litterly covered with shad. I could not see a hook or a fish in any of or near any of the schools of shad. The only ones I caught were stragglers that we saw suspended. Buster had a good day with 17 fish and 6 keepers. Some of his were suspended at 26' over 100 to 175 ft. and he did catch 3 keepers dragging a football jig in the dam area, on flat gravel, on up in the morning at the same 26' mark. He said the water was super calm and he saw nothing or did not see shad at all. The average fisherman or even the above guy will not catch those suspenders he is catching, unless you are used to just shutting down in the middle of the lake and watching your graph till a hook appears. He said he could see some doubles and triples, but you just had to know what you were doing and not be afraid to do it. That is as mean a deal as there is on this pond.

It got way to hard for me and mine this morning. Launched at 5:45 and was more than treated to a magnificent sunrise. Rounded the corner at Red Barn and was greeted with two wake boats towing boggy boards before 6 AM. Guess that about means its time to head for Alaska. I for the life of me cound get them to do nothing this morning. Dropshot, jig, Swimbait, nothing and I mean nothing was of interest. 6 total fish with nary a fish even close to being a keeper. All on a dropshot. Crawlers were not an option this morning. Fish I did catch were suspended 24 over 40 and had 3 others off a deep dock corner. Did not see a 1/2 dozen fish surface or any kind of movement on such a nice cloudy morning. I'll see if I can do better on the same water tomorrow,but am starting to feel the prussure. Water temps early were at 84.7 and stayed the same thru 10 AM.

Bite for me in the last 3 weeks has been on a Lavander Shad. Good Luck
