got a late start Sunday below the dam at 11:00. we couldn't manage anything in muddy water. gave it up and went to crappie and bream in some clearer stuff. overall, things were really slow. good start on the lake Monday morning, sitting in the boat by 8:30 ready to fish. first keeper bass boated at 10:30 on a jerkbait, chrome and black. 30 minutes later, dad with the next keeper on a jig. next cast, bam again with the jig and broke off. we're pretty pumped by now, thinkin things may line up for a great day. but such would turn out to be the highlight for us. post 12:00 we had a couple of slicks, a drum, and a cat to end the day. jerkbait wise, we threw colors in chartreuse, shale, clown, and various combinations of chrome. anything chrome seemed to be the preference.
