Fished from Cape Fair to Flat Creek from 5:30 to about 1PM. Had 25 fish with 7 keepers and one going over 5 lbs. The cool nights over the past week have cooled the water somewhat to 82-84 degrees. My fish were on carolina rigged brush hogs, and super hogs in green pumpkin, and Jewell 5/8 oz football jigs in brown and purple flash tipped with a green pumpkin Paca Chunk. Main and secondary pea gravel/chunk rock points and flats produced well.

Tom,

That sounds like a pretty solid day. Did you fish topwater at all?

Tom,

Sounds like you had a pretty good day out there. Are you going to be at truman this weekend, next weekend, or both?

Flippin I threw spoks at fish I saw bustin shad on top but only had one hook up pretty early. I did see schooling fish all day though. Troy, unfortunatley I have to skip the Truman Heartland tourney. My son's district championship tourney for Cal Ripkin league baseball is that weekend and I don't want to miss it. Hopefully I won't fall too far down in points but family comes first.
