I had a chance to go out this afternoon for a couple hours. I decided to flip and pitch reeds and that is all I did! I fished reeds between 2 to 5 foot of water. I was paying attention on the little pockets, points and isolated patches. I caught over 20 fishes but only 6 keepers. My best five was 15 pounds.

Wind has been blowing strong so I have been fishing flats close to the main lake between 6 to 8 feet of water and burning the strike king red eye shad. A lot of short bites but sometimes you run on a few good ones.

Hot day but overnight cold temps have been driving fish shallow. Found this one on the outer edge of a reed stand at last light just about as we were going to come in for the night.
