Water: 59-62
Weather: Cloudy 10-15mph 74deg
Technique: Biggish shad on boards
Hit the lake with Nathan after work today. Got bait really easily a little after 6pm and headed to try a spot we found back a month ago (and caught 3 studs but haven't been back since)...should have though based on how we did again tonight. We fished from about 6:30 to 8pm and caught 4 with the biggest 3 going 13, 15, and 17lbs. I foul hooked the 13 in the bottom chin and it ran off so much line I thought we'd never get that fish in..I knew right away it was foul hooked because I've caught some 30 n 40lbers and never felt anything pull that hard for that long. Luckily there were no trees around. The 17 was a beast of fight too and it was hooked it the lip. The fish are strong as heck right now.
I think the night bite may be getting good now and going forward..may be slow mid week with cold front but these warm temps have gotta jump start it. May try it next week sometime if the water climbs into mid 60s.

......Mr. Blurry does'nt bother me either.....i've done it myself and don't blame him one bit. I remember a few years back, he took his grandfather fishing and posted up some pics with the bridge in the background. Not hard to imagine what happened......
