Today was a weird day of fishing.  Some really light biters, some fish that whacked the jerk bait but would not get stuck.  I had 4 different fish follow baits back to the boat and turn away at the last second.  I was in a shad school or two and saw several bass come in and grab shad out of those schools.  

My best bite was trolling a tail spinner over deep water, I caught several bass just about as fast as I could toss it behind the boat and get moving forward with the TM.  Weird thing was if I cast it and worked it back I didn't get as many bites.  It was also late in the day when I got on that trolling bite and had to go, so I left some on the table.

Caught some on Ned rigs and a couple made it into the boat on jerk baits.  Had 19 total with 4 keepers.

WT 51, air temp 72 on the drive back.

That beats me.  I only caught 5 up the James today with 1 keeper.  I’m going down tomorrow.
