Nothing Biting

Went down below Bagnell Dam today. Beautiful day. Water looked good and wasn't raging like the other dams. However, I didn't get a hit. Seen a lot of people on the bank and in boats. I didn't see anybody catch anything but, heard someone had caught a few crappie and somebody else caught some small cat. A lot of dead and stunned shad coming out. You'd think there would be a feeding frenzy. I did hear from several people that a lot of spoonbill were being snagged down in the legal area.

We went up there to snag for spoonbill today and never hit a fish. We seen one guy that had two paddlefish from the bank right below the bridge. This is the first time I have gotten skunked up there ever I think. The past few years we hit a lot of fish in some deep holes, but I guess with the water running the fish weren't holed up like usual.

I did graph several fish right below the bridge, but never seen anybody actually hit anything.

I guess it was just bad luck for us today.

A guy my buddy knows that lives up there went up to the dam and said he saw a guy catch some crappie one after another but we forgot our ultralights.
