Decent Morning...

[Jacob W]

Did fairly well this morning in a spot between boat docks and where the creek channel run parallel beside it. Found plenty of shad and when I could pinpoint the bait, I had the most luck on a flutter spoon casting it and fishing it back with a stroking retrieve. Surprisingly caught several nice spots and a few largemouths that way. When I couldn't find the fish, I dragged a fb jig and shakey head to catch them as well.

Hey Jacob.....how deep are you pulling them from?

[Jacob W]

Caught some as shallow as 10 feet, but the majority I caught this morning was sitting in a little channel 22 feet average depth suspended in the channel or under the docks, just depended where the shad were. The fish did move a lot with the bait. The flutter spoon worked well for me today, especially on those suspended fish because I could get em to bite it falling down through them.

I found 5 keepers up shallow on a point this morning. Smallies spots and a black. Good morning. Picked up 15 shorts on top water in the same area once they came up. Lots of fish on top water and a smoke grub. Fishing out of joe bald. Water temp was 86. Fish were in 5 foot of water or less and busting shad over 25 for the top water bite. Small point has produced 9 keepers in 5 foot of water or less in last 3 trips.

Anyone else still fishing a grub? It has been killer when shad are around. Smoke color with red flakes.
