Fished a couple hours this morning - WT 74, clarity about 5 ft up in North Indian.  I'm still fishing the long flat gravel runouts using drop shot worm.  Found fish in about 20 - 25 ft sometimes on the bottom, sometimes suspended over 30 -40 ft, sometimes under bait balls.  On one occasion the screen went totally dark for the bait fish.  Caught 10+ fish mostly Ky, a couple SM, and one Meanmouth, plus some perch that seemed to move in after catching a KY or 2.  Most of the Ky were just legal (or close) and the SM all short.  Tried swim bait on the flats but no luck with that.  

Nice morning until about 9:30 when it got hot.   Very few boats out.  

Saw a loose buoy in the middle of the White in about 150 ft up towards Pt. 5 - this one appeared to be floating towards shore.  I see this from time to time and if I think they are likely to have found a new permanent home, I mark them on the locator so I don't hit them at night.  There were a couple that stayed out in the middle of North Indian for months earlier this year, probably moved by the higher water level.
