Smithville 5/30...

On the lake by 7am... Already muggy. Had heard reports that fish left the banks so I fished the 1st cove south of W where I could cast to the banks or tightline without moving the boat. Minnow under slip float, minow tightlined, chartruse/black slabslayer jig cast to shore and reeled all the way to boat. Nada. Narry a bite. Tried Crow's Creek arm where we sank brush. Nothing. Swim beach coves... Nope. Along the rip rap where W crosses Owl creek. Nothing there, either. Shore fishermen just shrugged when asked about catch.

Sounds like a tough day of it. Thanks for the report

Tough day, thanks for the report

Better luck next time.

man sounds like some of my trips, hey it will get better. betch ya yea

At least you got out and gave it one heck of a try, thanks for the report.

I was going to post a report about this morning on Smithville but,,,,,,,,, it was the same as shortstories

Thanks for your reports guys.

Hopefully the fishing will improve once they start stacking up in the timber .

I forgot to mention... It WAS beautiful. Saw the biggest eagle I've ever seen.
