4/24/23 Cape Fair up down

[Dutch]

My neighbor and I started at 09:00 and worked our way up to Carrs.  Most of the places I wanted to fish had a boat on them.  The water was down right muddy.  There were several snagging rigs out.  We scrounged up 9 with 4 keepers in 3 hours.   Most on a bleeding shad spinner bait.  
 

I ran below Cape and we fished to Piney.  In 3 more hours we caught 22 bass with 4 more keepers.  Most of our fish were largemouth.  We maybe caught 10 spots one of which was a good egg laden 16” female.  Several of the largemouth were females with bellies that showed eggs.  We never saw a fish with worn tail fins.  Three of our largemouths were between 3 1/2 to 4# and showed bellies.  Shaky was the best bait and several colors worked.  None of the fish were deeper than four feet.

The surface temp was 62 to 63°.

I was there as well from noon to about 4 pm today - fish downstream of the Marina as well - caught 12, mostly shorts, mostly LM - attached pic was about as good (big) as it got.  caught in 2 - 12 fow in feeder creeks, all Ned.  It seemed like it was picking up a bit as it was time to go home.

The last time I went upstream was last Tuesday - fished Flat Creek, water color was good then - I guess that recent rain muddied things up.
