did not have anything to do last night, so leonard and i decided to go sift in between all the tourney boats and see if we could find another bite on the lower end.  we did put in around 7:30 to give us a bit of time to look around to see if we found more than one area that was loaded with shad.  we only found one that was really loaded and guess what.  that is where we caught all of our bass.  14 keepers.  we fished until 1 am and called it quits because i had a few things to do today.

these shad were 1/2 way back in a bigger cove.  like i said, you just drive around looking until you find something.  of the 14 keeps, 1 k, and 4 lmg, and the rest brownies.  nothing that would weigh 4, but 5 that were in the 3 range.  depth was from 10 out to 20.  best bait was the 1 oz. Elite Black Widow.  had one a 3/4 GrassJig, and one one the "big wobbler".  we did fish three other areas that we saw some scattered shad, but no bites.  the shad were thick enough in the place we caught them, you could smell them.

there were quite a few boats went up long creek, and several of them came back fairly early.  there were some that just came back through in time to get back to weigh-in.

Good trip as always Bo.  I know a few Cassville people.   Who is Leonard?

I thought that might be him.  I am glad that he is still fishing.
