Big M area today

[Quillback]

How things can change in a day - shallow water gravel bite was gone for the most part. I blame that on a lack of wind on those banks that held them yesterday. Could not get anything going, caught a dozen on the Ned, mostly small fish, may have had 2 or 3 keepers, but they were squeakers at best.

Probably most consistent bite was on brown water banks in the coves, had a couple of good tugs on a Menace grub, but could not pin them. I think if I could do it all over, I'd work those brown water cove banks with a t-rig plastic that is visible and moves some water. Big Old jig with a trailer with active claws may work also.

Water did clear up a bit today, still some brown water, but it is fishable.

Surface temps were 56-57 with a couple of places showing 54.

Just ripe for a cold front...
