First in line at the gate. 69°water temperature at the ramp, up to 71.8° in other spots as the day went on.
I decided to start in my "finishing "spot today. First pass,threw a Buzzbait 25x, nada. Second pass threw a 2.5 Squarebill 25x, nada. Third pass I picked up the worm rod, 2nd cast BANG! Fish of the day, 3lbs 4oz. After that worked my way down to the Guarantee tree's cove, and popped a 2 pounder there. Headed for the Brushpile, and pulled a Snot Rocket out of there and let him jump off at the boat. Moved inside the island and caught a 2lb 3oz LM there. Moved over to the deep bar off the island and threw a Paca Craw on a EWG Ned Head, hoping for a Smallie, but caught a 2.75 lb Larry instead. Headed down to the tree where I broke off the big one last trip, but didn't get a bite. Talked to a couple guys fishing off the bank and told them to try their live bait around the trees. Moved back up the east bank and hooked a nice Smallie on a worm, but he pulled the Smallmouth Spazz at boatside and threw the hook. That was the only fish I lost today. A little further north I got one more Largemouth, 2.5 lb. Went back up to the finishing spot but didn't get another bite, so I called it @ 3pm. Fun day, and only one lost fish.
