Taters and eggs, and a little finesse

[dtrs5kprs]

Well, the last day started with a great breakfast with friends at Ma's. Little bit of a late start, and a short day, but fish were caught.

Shad are a huge factor right now.  Some fish are actively working them, but looks like mostly singles. Majority of the fish seem to be eating them at opportunity, but not in a chasing way. More like snapping at them as they swim past. Those fish haven't moved much, but there are more bucks in.

Temps were pushing 70 when I trailered at 245pm. Water color is horrible. Looks like a sewage lagoon. 

Despite some fun viewing of chasers, everything was on the little rig. Smack on the bottom. Only sense I can make of it is that they will not feed up until it clears. Caught some good ones, lost some good ones, and poked holes in a lot of shorts. 

Did manage one last slam, not the full keeper slam though.

When I get back and am less bleary, I'll try to knock together some updated finesse info. There are a lot of little things that make the difference between catching them and not. Bait wrinkles, boat position, retrieves, etc.

Dave thanks for all of your reports and pics.  Sounds like you had a good day.  The water color  in the dam area is pretty bad also.

Hoping some good rain will clear it up. Enough to make them run some water through Beaver and TR (sorry Ham).

Well you can always go flip in those bushes. Stained water and bushes get me twitchy.

I can do that. Either way, I'm going to be OK.

The Magical Mystery Tour has drawn to a close and Super Dave is headed back to pet Toto. All the little Brown Balls of Hate in the Hwy 13 area can feed with reckless abandon again.

Until June.

Called my wife. Told her we had to get this temporary residency thing fixed.

June? I'm generally catching them pretty darn good in June, but Super Dave with likely have the fams with him and they come first as well they should.
