    Well the fish are biting but had to go through a lot of small fish today to get 15 over 10'' to bring home. Water has turned a little more stained and has cooled off to 85 degrees. All the fish I caught today were near the bottom and I never got a bite if my bait was over 24'' above the bottom. Spider rigged using jigs tipped with small minnows. With the cool down this week the bite will keep getting better.
    Pics from today.



    A boat with more room for Rosco and he still wants to get under my feet, even when there isn't enough room!!!




    I only seen one other fisherman on the lake all morning. I talked with him and he was longlining jigs and only caught 3 in the same area where I caught my fish at. I didn't try jigs by their self but my the next trip out.

    Ray, you have to keep the fresh water coming into the livewell. I put my switch to come on every 7 minutes and most of the time don't have any trouble with them. I like to keep them alive because at times I will release them.

      Thanks guys. That last pic is of my fishing partner, Rosco has the run of the boat but always ends up under my feet!

      I fished today. Same thing but water went from 72 to 77 by noon. I tried spider rig with minnows on jigs also but split shot was the deal. Fish just were not biting well. First trip out spider rigging so I'm still getting used to it.

      At least with the cooler temps you can still keep your toes warm.

      Its hard to release fish that aren't alive unless you release them in hot grease.
