Family Trip 6/15-6/18

[bluebasser86]

Made a trip down with the family, stayed in the Cleavenger Cove area. Bite was tough for me at first, most fish coming off the 86 highway bridge on a dropshot. My oldest son came out one afternoon and used up a whole tub of crawlers real quick catching big bluegills.

Last morning I was really struggling and decided if I wasn't going to catch anything it was going to be for a reason. Switched to a Chad Shad and it was like magic. Fish chasing the bait all over and caught several really nice fish the last few hours I had to fish.

Nice report!! I have never thrown a glide bait (maybe that’s not a glide bait - not sure I guess.) before.  Very interesting for sure. The son was grinning from ear to ear which is great to see. Congratulations.

For sure, nice fish on the big swimmers.  

Those big gills are fun, good to see the youngster catch some.

Congrats Clayton you always seem to do well when you come to Missouri.

Those smiles says it all. Congratulations.

Not sure if it will be of any interest to anyone but I usually video my trips. The big bait video especially turned out pretty good with some fish eating the bait at boatside and lots of fish missing the boat.
