Lower end 5/12

[AR Huzgr]

Got out after the rain.   Launched at LBV north and mainly fished areas I hadn't fished before in the dam area.

Couldn't get anything shallow on cranks.

The fish I did get only wanted the Ned in green pumpkin. I tried a green pumpkin with orange and also tried other plastics to no avail.  I also could only find them in areas where there were large boulders or shelf Rock generally about 15 ft.

Got 8 total, all smallmouth,  nothing huge, this was largest one (I need to get me one of those measuring boards so you don't have to look at my ugly mug in photos LOL)

Water temps 69-70

Nice fish!  I have a buddy that is camping at Indian for a few days and I plan to go with him one day while he is there.  We'll be looking for a top water striper bite.

Cool! This time of year the last 2 hours of dark can be as good as the dawn bite, gotta be stealthy if it's calm, shad flipping gives them away. Good luck!
