Thread: 20 keepers

in 3 hours is ok for some ,but a bit slow for others .
we hit 11 spots and only 1 to 3 keepers to a spot .
ran the lake from far north to far south and there wasn't a real solid pattern best I could tell ya .
move fast and fish slow is what i hear works pretty well .....
most of the fish were at 5 to 10 foot deep in waters ranging from 7 to 18 foot deep .
very large amounts of schooled up shad on the surface everywhere .
bites were for the most part a bit more solid than they have been .
not real hard thumps but to be sure some took it hard enough to be considered a thump .
even found us 2 black crappie in the mix and they are pretty rare in there .
the dinks were in lower numbers than what has been the norm too.
will try another location today maybe and might go hit that one in a day or so again as well .
the good news is we didn't break any rods and i tried a new set up i put together .
it is a one pc 7 and in the medium fast puppy range .
water temp 83 when we started in the morning and heard tell it was 88 that afternoon .
some fish were on cover , but several were just suspended near drop offs on the break points .
best fish was in the 13 inch range ,but most ran around 10.5 to 12 inches .
orange and pink colors worked best and yes we dropped lots of color on them .
was fun no doubt
