Dam area - July 17

First time out in a couple of weeks, I was hoping the fish were in the same places they were a couple of weeks ago, but they weren't.  Caught a half dozen bass, 5 were brownies, one was a spot.  Nothing big, 13-15" fish.  C-rigging a UV Speed Craw got them, fish were deep, they came from 20-30 FOW.  

I launched about 0545 and was off the water by 10 AM.  Pleasure boat traffic was picking up, it was hot and no wind, I was ready to go.  

I saw only two other fishermen all day, pretty good sign that things are tough.

Surface temp 85 when I left.

new to this site.  heard about you specifically from a buddy of mine says you fish in my neck of the woods an share your success.   I look forward to following you.  I recently bought a house in the Pine log area.  my dock is in the cove right off the "cut thru" by the big island between Lost bridge North and south.  I've been fishing up in the Indian creek area.  I'd like to score some great spots without having to run too far to the south.  I can get there in 5 minutes.  I've fished  mainly way south in the Hickory creek zone so this clear water and summer is challenging to me.  Just started throwing the Ned rig a bunch.   I'll keep up with your posts to see what success you are having where and with what.  thanks fellow angler.

I have been through that cut many a time.  Nice place to have a house!

How is the Ned working right now?  Haven't thrown it in a while, but might soon.   I saw someone on Table Rock was having success on the smallies with it recently, so I might throw it some myself.
