beautiful day and catching not too bad either.

[merc1997 Bo]

got out to do some daytime fishing and the catching was not too bad for not being out daytime fishing for quite a while.  put in at 12:30 and had a limit before 3:30.  caught few on a jig, but all were short.  the best lure was the lowly spoon.  depth 15 to 25 ft.  most were caught off the bottom, but did catch a few suspended mid-range.  ended up with 7 keeps, and they were all 16 to 17 inch largemouth, just nice chunks.

might go again tomorrow and fish a different area to see if i can find them in another area of the lake.  water temp was 74 this afternoon.

well, this same pattern works in many places, not just not everywhere on the lake at the same time.  so, where i end up tomorrow, i may not find anything.  you never know until you go looking.  may not find squat, and you can not catch them if they are not there.

Bo,

I was out for two days (Friday, Sat) and found the front of the pockets/creeks loaded with shad and yes the fish we caught were on or near the bottom. We did well when we found the schools of shad broken up (a.k.a feeding fish).  If the shad were in tight balls, we moved on to find the broken schools.  The whites were mixed in at times. Water temp was still 71-72, but the fall migration may finally be starting, albeit slow. You better take "little jasper" fishing as he is going through withdraws with his boat out of commission.
