Man what a wet weekend! All in all we had a good trip. Found out the boat does not get on plane will 40 gallons of water in it.

We got down to the lake at about 9:30 Friday am made our first stop in Whites branch to see if we could locate some bedders to look at caught one off a bed but most were not as responsive as we would have liked. Spent the rest of the day in the cows and had a ball! Love the fin! Had a 4lb spot and a 3 lb jaw almost back to back then my parter went to work with a spook we had around 7or 8 keepers on top plus a bunch of shorts.

Sat morn we started in mill and plucked a few quick then things go tough for us, back to the room at noon for dry shirts and regroup. Afternoon in the cows caught fish on the fin and a shakey head but much tougher than the day before. Headed to schooner and from 5:30 till dark wore them out all on a head. Had about 17 lbs in 2 hours, a mix of all species

couple of 4 lb LM 3lb Spots and a fantastic jaw a little over 3 lbs, plus two that took us to the trees. All fish came from about 5 to 10 ft on a channel bank.

Sunday am we were not the only one to find those fish per usual. the bite was still on doing the same thing as the eve before but the fish won more than the fisherman. wound up with 4 keeps and we broke 5 off, one being a STUD! I could do nothing with this fish, would have love to seen her, but oh well!

All in all not the bed fishing beat down we were after, but a top water bite trumps lookin at em. And I

am now a fan of the head. The fish on the rock are flat out awesome, just brutes, just awesome. See you guys in three weeks. Hope this info helps someone. We did loose about 5 deg of water temp over the weekend fyi

Thanks
