tougher bite, had to slow way down. Half way back in the creek channels. Any points or structure the fish may hold on as they left the back of the creeks back out to the lake. Bigger bites came on a football jig. dragging it slowly keeping bottom contact.

It was a tuff day out on bull shoals. Fished a joe bass tournament out of buck creek. We caught all our fish on a rigs in about 15 to 20 feet of water. Did catch one in 30. Biggest one was about 4 pounds. We fished in the backs of pockets and brush piles. We saw a lot of dead shad in the water and saw a lot of big balls of shad in the backs of pockets.overall it was a tuff day on the water but still fun

Did pretty will 26th out of 200 boats in a Bassmaster college tournament after day 1. We were letting small tubes spiral down over schools of post-spawn smallies. Most times they would hit bait on Inital fall. 1 of very few teams to weigh in 5 smallies. Wisconsin techniques work everywhere!

Fished the upper end of the lake mainly from Diamond City to Buck Creek Marina. Was able to catch a few shallow in the flooded bushes. They were dropping the water level fast so the fish we mainly in the outside edge of the bushes. Caught a few flipping around a D-bomb. Also caught a few mainly in the morning on topwater over the deeper bushes. Was able to get one to commit to the glide bait!
