I was on the water by 6am and by 6:15am, I had my first keeper fish. I was throwing a topwater again this morning. The water was up a lot. They must have been running a BUNCH though because by the time I came off the water at noon, the water was back down to where it had been last week. At least a foot change in 6hrs!

I caught a keeper sized smallmouth off a main lake point. It weighed nearly 4lbs. I also caught a nice spotted bass that weighed in at 2.4lbs but looked short. I lost one that was probably another 2lber or so on that point. I continued to fish the topwater walking bait but also was throwing a squarebill and a spinnerbait. I did get a bite on the squarebill but lost it. I must not have had him hooked well. I caught a lil spot on the topwater that wasnt much bigger than my bait. I didnt have much luck from about 10am til noon. Tomorrow, I plan on fishing for crappie using minnows and jigs. Will be focusing on standing timber in 15-25 FOW back in a main lake arm.
