Talked to a couple that decided to try the shallow water a couple of days ago. The husband/wife team told me that they cought a decent mess of slabs in 3 feet of water around the trees. They were up in the Smoke House area dabbin minnows around the trees and had almost their limit. This really surprisesz me cause I would think the weather was too cold. It should be no problem at all catching a limit of good slabs this weekend at Blackshear.
