Fished Grand This Weekend

[Quillback]

I went out Saturday morning, water was still pretty stained, kind of a coffee with cream color. Started off fishing a lipless crankbait, after about 10 minutes hooked a nice 4-5 lb black bass that jumped and tossed the lure. After that I fished probably another 4 hours and did not get another bite. Tried to find some white bass, but I could not find them either. I finally put down the rodes and got the shad net out (there's shad all over that lake), netted myself about 50 shad, put them on ice, and went home.

Returned on Sunday AM, catfish gear and shad in the cooler, went over to my favorite catfish spot and drifted shad, ended up catching 4 blues, 2-3 lb'ers about 40 feet down. Not a lot of bites, but when they hit it they really slammed it. Nice thing about this time of year, not nearly as many boats out there. Water also cleared considerably from Saturday, I think give it a couple more days and it will be looking good.
