Slow start this year with the crazy weather we've been having. First outing.. I went over for a morning(pre dawn) stroll thinking it was going to be cloudy.... it wasn't. Stripers or hybrids busted out on top just after daybreak... sadly it was on a point across the lake from me. I did manage a "quick release" on 2 bass #1 was a nice 18ish lm on a chatterbait. # 2 never got a look at but felt decent - sucked down my topwater. Left around 8:30 very light crowd only about 3 boats at Shiedy and 4 at Dry Brooks(didn't drive over to S.H.)... no turkeys spotted and only 1 hunter's truck spotted on my 183 loop.

Went back over for another shoreline stroll. Thought I was in for a great morning considering all the deer that were out... Wrong nothing happening. However it may have been due to the pretty good crowd there at 5:30am - 15-20 rigs parked and another 10 or so launched till 7:00am when I left. At least one guy pounded one of "my spots" early and 2 of the later guys hit the area pretty good too, they failed. I had hit those areas earlier while the other guy was at the other spot.

Another shoreline stroll this morning. Only 2 boats out and 2 others in the get ready lane. A few more showed up but still a "light" crowd. Fished away from the ramp till I ran out of bank. The water is up a bit but still pretty clear in the main lake. A few sunny taps was all I got for my effort... no pre-dawn alewife action, no shiners flashing in the shallows... about the only sign of life was a few carp breaking the surface.

Tried a morning stroll hoping that the Tuesday Tourney guys "stocked" around the ramp. No such luck, of course don't know how many they caught either. Did manage to get 2 8-10" dink smallies one of which hit my new drop shot bait. So I guess it was sort of a win .... LOL

Had several walks since my last outing. Things were kind of dismal for a bit not hits even the sunnies are gone. Well last Friday I got a couple of decent kits on a 4" Senko that I was tossing on the spinning rod didn't hook either fish. Went back Monday morning Looked pretty bleak again but then late in the morning(7-7:30ish) I again missed 2 decent bites with the spinning rod. Not sure what's going on I'm fishing it "texaposed" and never had this many misses before.
This morning I went back over but to a different spot and armed with both baitcasters. Still no topwater bite switched over to a 5" Senko and eventually pulled in two dink largemouth

Well another morning stroll but didn't quite get there early enough to beat the morning rush. Besides the half dozen or so boats that were already out another guy was also out for a stroll. So I had to fish behind him... not real productive but I got 1 feisty smallie. Getting good reports from the Big "O" did you make it over ?
