Great morning on the Rock!

[danop69]

Got out at about 5:45 this am.  Started at a cove just off the main channel down by Cow creek at about 6 or so.  Water temp was 85.8 with maybe 5 foot of visibility.  Looks like an algal bloom goin on.  Was not like this 3 weeks ago.  Fish were busting on top all around us sporadically for about 45 mins to an hour.  Threw spooks, and wakers with no takers.  Picked up a popper and they seemed to like that as I caught 2 in successive casts, both keeper spots, and then it was over.  Found them out in the creek channel just outside the submerged tree line suspended in 30-50ft in 70 ft of water closer to the main channel.  Started throwing the jet slab spoon and it was on!  Giant whites with some Kentuckies mixed in literally knocked the snot out of the slab spoon.  They were hitting it so hard the nearly ripped the rod out of your hand!  Also caught a nice 4-7 Largemouth and 21” walleye on the same rig!  What a morning!  At 10 am or so we were just beat after casting that slab for so long so we called it a morning! Caught 29 total, no shorts.  Mostly whites 4 spots, 1 Largemouth and the kicker walleye.  Bass were released unharmed.  Can’t say that for the whites!  Gonna have some of them Friday night!   What a blast!  Good luck

Well that doesn't sound like much fun at all! Well done.  Was it up and down under the boat or were you making casts with the jet?
