Panfishing 5/22

[Devan S.]

Headed over to leatherwood looking for panfish. 

I was over there about this time last year and the lower end was relatively free of grass....that is not the case now. As far as I could tell the (hydrilla)? now extends the entire bank. I'm sure this is just a killer amount of cover for fish to hide in but its impossible for me to fish effectively. 

We did catch some fish, several redear(small), small bass, and one 8" crappie. 

The redear were in the back of a cove almost bedded up and they wouldn't take live bait at all. Would ignore a crawler dropped right in the bed. 

I didn't see any jumbo panfish so I highly doubt I will go back as its somewhat out of the way and just crazy difficult to fish with all the grass.
