Fished with F. In Law (Pops) but we will call him eggtimer (ET). We hit Rock Thursday the 7th and Sat the 9th. Thursday was big bait day for us looking for a pig. Used 6-9 inch baits.We fished 10 am to 3pm and boated 9 browns. Two biggest fish landed went 5.9 and 6.7, both browns. ET hooked into a nice fish that that made 3 good runs. We don't like to horse fish so we keep our drags where the fish can run if it wants. Got it up to the boat, decided it didn't like the looks, made a quick turn and loose she came. I would say she went 30 inches or better but it's just a fish story now. Devistated ET kept on pluggin along like a champ. We did take two fish home to see what they had inside. The food we found was small, 2-3 inches in size.

Sat. we decided to try smaller baits to match the hatch, plus we wanted to run the smoker. Arrived at 8am and went straight to our honey hole. We had 9 fish in the livewell by 10am. Back to the bigger baits looking for a kicker, maybe that 30 incher again. No luck so I switched to a wacky rigged stick bait on a 1/16oz head. Again only small fish. Caught 15 total including 4 bows that were the biggest 4 of the day. As AnglinArcher stated, the bows are feeding on the moss as thats all they had in their bellys. Water was around 40 degrees most everywhere. I think the high water is playing a roll in where these fish are setting up offering an additional food source. I did notice that the smaller browns like to roll once they realize they are hooked making a mess for releasing. Off the water at 2pm. Pic from Saturday
