The weather was absolutely perfect! Overcast, spitting rain and threatening to open up at any time. Not a wakeboat to be seen! It never rained hard enough for me to put on my parka. The gusty wind was kind of a pain though.
Fished from 9:30-4:30 OK, threw the net from 9:30 to 11:00 then went fishing. Only managed to catch 6 decent shad 12"-14". Struck out in all my usual bait spots but finally found some scattered bait in a new spot. Was worn out so once we had enough for a spread I said "screw it, lets go fishing".
We tried a creek a ways south of Becky's/Betty's that had been very good the last few weeks. Had one bait get skinned but no other action. I did see some guy in there driving his boat around backwards so that was... interesting...
Moved to a small cove off of the main lake and did doughnuts with constant action until we ran out of big bait.
Total for the day was 4 in the boat from 24" to 34". The 24" was on a peanut, the rest were on big gizzards. We had a couple of dollar bill sized ales in the spread that got no love at all.
