Fished several locales this morning in the Big M area, best location was "Duck Beach". There was an early top water bite, scattered fish chasing shad, caught 8 or so on the Rapala BX, 2 nice LM keepers (out over 40 FOW, they must have thought they were spotted bass),and a mean mouth keeper came on the BX. I was bragging on the BX being a bait that the fish did not miss last week when I fished it, but today they were having trouble - probably had 15 misses this morning.
Broke out the drop shot tipped with a 4" green pumpkin Senko, caught another 7-8 on it, but no keepers, 12-14" spots.
Chilly early morning, but water temps are still in that 82-83 range.
