Tough, but think I found a decent pattern at the end

[WHARFRAT]

Only fished a few hrs Sat and Sun. On Saturday, started out around docks. Thought I'd start out by shooting the wells. First fish was a solid 17" LM, not really what I was looking for. Couple of docks down, another decent LM. Using ice blue BG Baby Shad. After a couple more smaller bass, finally got a good 12" crappie. Deep in the well almost on the bottom. Fished until 9am, caught 5 crappie, all but one was over 11", numerous bass, mostly small, and about a 5lb drum. (it was fun until I saw it).

Sunday it was a different story. No strikes the first hour, but I did see some fish that would occasionally bust into some shad, wasn't sure what they were, as I saw gar surfacing all morning. I got close to some shad, and could see how small they were and finally saw something silvery chase them. I started looking thru my tackle (which I take very little out with me), I finally found some 1" maybe 1.5" stinger shad in a orange/brwn/chartreuse color. (only thing I had that small). Hooked it up with a 32oz round jig head #6 hook, and started casting around any surfacing shad I could find. I'd let the jig fall about 4-6 ft, before bringing it through the shad. Seemed to do the trick, though, I wasn't happy with the size. In the next hour, probably caught 20+ crappie (7-8") and a couple of really small white bass. But, it was good entertainment before church! Water temp around my end was anywhere from 81-83.

Good Fishing Everyone!

Got out last night around 9 pm.

Started shooting dock wells caught a few keepers and a handful of dinks.

Seem to get more bites on the ends of the docks.

Got out Saturday morning doing the two pole stroll with some cranks and caught a few nicer ones that way. But released them as it wasn't enough to clean.

I'm fishing the Grand Glaize area.
