Friday, Big M

Never could nail them down today, seems that most of the fish are back in the coves in the Upper Section. Caught a couple early on topwater, and during the day caught fish on The Ned, wobblehead with a Structure Bug, Nutech Jig, War Eagle jig and some c-rig fish with a UV Speed Craw. I'd say my average fish was a spawned out 13-14 inch Spot.

Saw fish on beds, fish actively spawning, and some bass fry swimming around. Saw several big shad balls out near the main channel, nothing was bothering them, but I think that will change before long. Could be setting up for a good top water bite.

25 total, with 4 keepers, but I did get a Babler Slam.

Water temps started at 62 in the AM and were up to 65-66 when I left at 1:30 PM.

Sounds like the typical mix of transition fish for May. At least the pond has warmed up some.
