8/18/15 Report

Went out with some friends on the water for a bit and did some swimming mostly and noticed the water seems to have cooled off a bit. I left my graphs at home so didnt get a reading of temp but did bring a few rods with me. I used a dropshot in the stalls of a larger community dock in Coose and boated maybe 4 spotted bass with one being 13-14 inches and very chunky. Missed a few more fish and even landed a few on topwater in the evening around the Islands. I will be spending more time on the water if the rain will hold off. I will report back but everytime I have gone out this summer a dropshot has done very well around docks. From 12 to 30 feet. The bite is pretty subtle but man, once they take it and feel you they are off like a rocket! Feels nice to get back out!

Nice nice.    I've seen some schooling fishing around hickory creek the last few outing.   Thanks for the report.
