Fished our club tournament out of Masters. Beautiful day to be on the water. Water temps in mid 60’s and 2’ or so visibility. I kept one bait in my hand 99% of the day, the Berkley Chappo. We had 4 keepers within the first 3 hours, and between several missed blowups where they would knock it completely out of the water, to losing fish on the way to the boat, we just couldn’t get that 5th keeper. Lots of 14 3/4 fish including a few smallies and a spot. I think the longest between bites was 30 minutes all day. Fun day to have a topwater tied on.

Used to catch a lot of fish this time of year on a buzz toad up there. I haven’t used one of those in twenty years or more.

I’ve got a few of those, but haven’t used them since the Chappo came out. Might just do that Thursday.
