Fishing was tough but dare I say still good. The overnight temps were low. In the 30's which I think set things back a bit along with the approaching front but the first half of the day was sunny and calm. I got to work doing what I love to do this time of year. Swim Jig!!! Take it slow. Keep it low for the next week or two until they really push up. Look for the warmer areas of the lake. Most guys were fishing off shore with a rigs and finesse or scoping. I was up beating the banks or really just from the edge of the flooded brush out about 10'. I had about 24 lbs. My partner had 2 small fish. I had to work for every bite. I think I caught only 8 or 9 fish all day. Largest went 7. Smallest was 3 something. I was using an ALX Oxim to catch fish. IDK why Omnia refuses to carry ALX when they are some of the best rods out there. d Good luck out there.

Fished for 5 days in the crazy 25 MPH winds everyday. Fishing was tough but got 3rd in the Wednesday Nighter with just over 13#'s for 3 fish. Got fish on frogs and shaky heads in the evenings and pretty much threw the Magdraft in the mornings up north. Targeted docks and seawalls. Big fish 7.2#'s

Fished the BBT tournament, weighed in 19.60, caught fish all day down south. Shaky head and drop shot did all the damage. Went back out Sunday for a couple hours and got a couple 4 pounders.
