nightshift had my body messed up and couldnt sleep... called my buddy and he couldnt sleep any either.. he said it must be destiny...so we left the house at 230. started fishin around 330.... we started catchin em on top shortly after.. not many big fish til after daylight. after daylight we had twin five lber on but both of us let em off close to the boat. we moved around once the sun came up and got into a couple of pretty good groups of them... we were fishing for dinner.. best 3 fish... i own the series 4-0.. but today wasnt my day... i would catch a 2lber and he would catch a 4 or 5lber on the same cast. that went on most of the morning.. at one time his best 3 was 14lbs and i was stuck at 9 ish... with an hour left i picked up a jig and went to work.... caught a 5 plus on a jig with 30 minutes left.. i knew i was in trouble and still needed another 4lber to make close. with less than 10 minutes left i hung into a good fish.. ended up around 4.5bls... enough to make it close but not enough to matter. he ended up with 14.2lbs and i had 12.95.. our best 5 was 24.77lbs.. a good day on the lake...for us.. most of our fish came on a worm in 4-6ft but we did catch those last two good fish on a jig on the ledges.... we caught about 4 limits we culled through almost 2 limits of of 4lb fish... and a bunch of fish in the 2 to 3lb range.<br /><br />an awesome day to be on the water....for sure....i think i finally found a couple of groups fish.. know i just hope they stay around for awhile...and everyone else doesnt find them... but im sure they will.<br /><br /><br />
