The water was mixed, where we started in between canal bridge boat ramp and black bear boat ramp it was stained, with maybe 3ft visibility, but as we moved back to the dam by the canal bridge boat ramp we found clearer water with 5ft visibility. My partner caught a small mouth on the jerk bait. When we headed up towards Linville we found the water to be a lot clearer. I had a few hits on my Pulse Fish jig. And caught one a little over a pound under a dock. the water clarity there was almost 10 ft.
