I decided to take a few days off of work to tackle some of my honey do list. Ive been getting behind on house projects and needed to catch up to keep my better half happy. I managed to negotiate a couple of pre lunch fishing trips and today I chose to fish some new water. We put in at shellmound at 6:30. Weather seemed perfect,cloudy slight breeze and nice temps. We fished several different spots and only managed to boat 4 fish today. Targeted grass mostly since Chick is behind. I didnt really notice much top water action in the grass this morning and was skeptical immediately. I tossed a ribbit top toad for a while and gave up. One significant thing I noticed is the fish seemed deep according to my graph. I marked tons of fish in the 25+fow. All our fish came close to rock in 20+ ft with a jig and t rig worm. I tried some deep cranks and a shakey with no luck. Had a great time fishing in the morning and during the week. Seen 3 other boats and got paid to fish today with my grandpa. Whats better than that? Good luck to all and hope the fishing picks up soon.
