June 19 out of Indian Creek

[Quillback]

I was fishing by 0530 and three casts later I caught a 4 lb. largemouth on top and that was the high point of the morning.  

Caught a half dozen smallies on jigs, no size, all were between 12-14 inches.

Saw very little top water striper action, had a couple come up early and made a few casts at them, but couldn't get them to bite.  Once the sun came over the horizon the stripers pretty much stopped coming up.  

About 0930 the water was flat calm, it was getting hot, could not get any bites, and the ski boats were starting to appear, so I was done and headed for the ramp.

WT 78 early.

Great topwater fish!

One positive note, this is the earliest you will have to be on water for the rest of the year.

Nice one Quillback.
