Got there at daybreak, foggy as all get out, got a couple on the buzz bait, then a line of storms moved in. Sa tin the truck for a while until the rain moved out, went back to throwing the buzzer, caught 8 more on it and a couple of drop shot fish and then it was time to go home. Nothing big on the buzzer but they were a bit interested in it. Best bite was in the coves, could not find much in the main channel.

Looks like we might be in for a wash out if the weather guessers are close to being accurate. Maybe that will get the fish going.

Water temp 72-73.

Thanks for the report, as always.

Nice report

Thanks for the report QB. Sounds like your hook up ratio was better on the buzzer this time. Were the fish just more committed to taking it, or did you change baits, trailer hook?

I did change to a War Eagle "Mouse" instead of black, and the hook up ratio was much better, but not nearly as many bites as I got three weeks ago. Small sample size however, looks like I'll need to do some more experimenting.

The Mouse color War Eagle is hard to beat in the blade or buzzer. I have more success on the Mouse blade than any other color. Although lavender shad is good also in certain water colors. You may have just been around more chasers three weeks ago, or they were feeding more, instead of reaction bites.
