WT 49-50. Mostly sunny, and windy at times.
Got to the Lake Friday night. Spent a couple of hours Saturday morning and then in the afternoon trying to catch shad, first in back of little bull run and then back of Craddock. Saw what I assume was bait here and there, but came up empty. Main goal for me was to catch shad as it was my first time throwing a net off my boat. Trying to learn how to read the finder, position myself and then throw the net. I've got a lot to learn, and my guess is that I need to travel further.
Caught some ales last night off my light as a back up, but then my motor acted up this morning and ended up fishing from my dock. Caught one large mouth.
Had my son home from college for spring break, so all in all it was a great weekend. Hoping to fish next week. Looking forward to hauling in some nice bait someday.
