7/20 Report

[Evolution]

Should have looked at the USGS website before I decided to head out since the water level dropped rapidly compared to Sunday but decided to push my luck, as well as test out a few new lures but ended up with no such luck. I did not catch any of the species that I was after (crappie, white, hybrids). Was told I should have been here yesterday (Sunday 7/19) when they were running more flood gates (only 1 was open). There are millions of shad fries (about 1") everywhere. Caught only a few drums on the east side but did witness a huge catfish boil that lasted a couple hours on the west side by the fence. Most of the individuals I saw where targeting catfish. Will probably give this place a few more tries and then move on to hunting.

I should be hitting the Woods early in the mornings for a couple hours, if it would drop into the 50's nothing will stop me. Thing is you get anything of size getting it out and in the Freezer is a very hurry hurry job and if I need help makes it worse.

Buddy was up yesterday and had good luck on crappie. Caught a hybrid 20inch and a buffalo that weighed 8lbs

Fished today(8/3) and boy was I glad I did. I was in topwater heaven. Whitebass/hybrid boils everywhere. Better get out while you can, I don't know how long it will be like this. Used various topwater lures but had most luck on a white walk the dog bait. It got damaged from so many vicious hits, I will need to replace it soon. For quantity, head to the west side. For quality, fish the east side by the exposed rock near the fence but be careful, it is slippery if you decided to wade out there.
