Aarchdale and i put in at Masters at 6:45. Overcast with lite wind. We tried the point to the left with nothing. Moved across the lake and i picked up 2 keepers on a jerkbait. 3 hours went by before Andy caught 2 keeps a few minutes apart. Another 30 minutes and we rounded a point and i caught 2 more keeps pretty quick. About 75 yards down we lit them up. I caught 4 keepers on 4 casts. That turned into a double minutes later for us. 

Off the water at 12:30.  Ned, SB, crank, jig. All fish came on the JB.  We ended up with 19 fish total with 16 keepers.  Far better than i had expected.

Sounds like a great day to me!

Great day especially for quitting at 12:30.  I think quitting that early when the fish were biting would have killed me.  

What were the water temps up that way?

[Ketchup]

Our bellys were growling, so we opted to head to the eatery.   South side clear water was 43-44.  North side directly across was stained and 47-49

We only traveled 1/4 mile from the ramp. The water in that 1/4 mile area was night and day color difference. All fish came in the clear water.

I exclusively fish Megabass.  I bought a couple of the RC sticks when they first came out because they were identical looking to the Megabass.  I tied on a Megabass in Pro Blue and an RC stick in Pro Blue.  I would alternate between the two.  The fish weren't in a jerk bait mood so I really couldn't compare the two with one out fishing the other, but what I did notice was that the RC stick didn't dart and dive like the Megabass.  They would just kind of pull through the water.  I haven't used the RC stick since.  I have a bunch of Lucky Craft Pointers too, but I just have confidence in the Megabass 110 and 110+1.

Have any of you guys tried the megabass knock offs? I’ve been thinking about ordering a few blanks and painting them myself but if they’re not somewhat comparable to the real 110’s then I don’t want to waste my money..

My first 2 fish came on an Academy H2O jerkbait. I only switched for a color change. Im sure that would do just fine BF.
