They ain't all 30 feet deep

[Champ188]

Fished a couple of pet sections of the White River today. Despite having not a cloud in the sky (literally, all day), I managed 26 total with 7 keepers, best five of which would go 14-15 pounds.

Having a decent wind helped, as did having it blowing on the shady bank from noon until I quit at 4:30 p.m. Started fishing at 9:00 and caught a couple pretty quick on the Plopper, including my second-best fish of the day at about 3.5 pounds. Also caught a couple on a shallow crank and one on a Carolina-rigged Centipede, which was the ONLY fish caught deeper than 6 feet all day. The rest came on 3/8-ounce War Eagle spinnerbaits in the Spot Remover and Purple Shad colors.

Managed a few pics but didn't get the two biggest ones. Hard to handle the boat in the wind and take pics by yourself. Right, Bo?

Champ, thanks for that encouraging report. Coming down in a few days. Ready to try most any baits and you've given me a few more to add to my list. Love the jig bite but if they get it going on crank bait/spinner bait I'll be ready.

nice ones for sure, and you are right.  are you going to miss catching them while taking pics, or keep on catching them, right?  i always have a good laugh watching iconelli rolling all over the boat yelling and screaming.  i could put an entire limit in the boat before he ever gets over his patting himself on the back.

one never know just how fleeting the bite might be.
