I got on the water about 5:30 last night and started out in the main channel fishing the bottom with a Carolina rig over muscle banks. No bites. Threw a soft swim bait in the same locations, focusing on 18-20' deep with no bites. Before dusk I moved to a slew and threw a jig and tried sweeping the area with a spinner bait, again no bites Toward the back of the slew fish started breaking water. Changed to a top water plug and that was the ticket. They were slamming the plug. Several short bites but I managed to catch ten - none over 2 lb. Had some fun action on topwater but nothing to brag about. Got off the water at 10:30.
