Threw everything in the tackle box at 'em & between 3 outings over 2 days, we boated exactly two 12" drum, two 12"-15" channel & a 10" crappie between us.
Don't know if it's the recent temperature drop or what, but nobody we saw or talked to was catching. My uncle knows a guide there said folks were having to work all day for 5 keepers & most getting skunked. Said they're between summer & fall patterns. Been getting skunked all summer on Pomme & Truman, due to heat & bad timing. As a newb/re-entry (after 35+ years) angler, I can't wait to get out & actually get into some catching.
