Last 3 days have been really good, especially on Friday.

Good buddy and I had about a dozen keeps Friday,  Biggins. Topwater and glide bait.

Today there were bass beds everywhere with big females on them. I’m really not a bed guy so I just wished them well and Talley Ho’d on.

Visibility at Shell Knob is super clear, on flat water you can see 15’/16’ no problem.  Beds are 8’ to I’m guessing 16’+and most have bass on them, easy to see.  I saw some really nice LM on some of the beds, 4 plus pounders.

Fished a Surge Shad and a Shaky Head this morning and had 6 keeps and twice that many shorts that were all line burners so they pulled and fought like tigers.

Just to slick for the big glide bait this morning, I have to have a chop with it to be somewhat effective. 

Surface temps 68 degree and lots of Wake Boats😠😠😠
 

Good Luck

Hope you all got at least a couple of TR Shad color Surge Shad’s prior to them going out of production. 
They kind of think they’re food. I also have about 1/2 dozen fins in the same color. They run good, but nothing like the SS.
