Trip to the Dam a bust
Put in at Moonshine Beach in Branson about 06:30. Already about half a dozen boats in the cove at the launch jigging for Whites. Lots of fishin', but not much catching going on from what I could see. Fished my two favorite coves across from the Branson Belle, but no luck. I hung around till about 1:00 hoping the Whites would start busting shad on the surface, but they didn't and it was too hot to stick around any longer waiting on them. Last year they started going nuts about 3:00 or so.
Actually I did catch one Smallmouth. A very, very small Smallmouth!:o As promised, I had the Crappie rigs out and baited with minners while I tossed a crankbait. Saw the tip of the pole jiggle,reeled it in and did a double take 'cause I thought my minner had a sudden growth spurt! About a 3 inch Smallie had tackled an inch and a half minnow!
Lots of big boats out for a weekday and I sure got tossed around a lot from the nonstop huge wake.
