Fish were in a biting mood today, nice breeze blowing. Had them blowing up all morning, from 6am to 11am, all around lily pads and mossy muck on a frog. Worked the spinnerbait through the lillies when they missed to frog, got a few that way also.

Fished a popping frog around heavy lillies for a few hours then switched to a spinner bait. Got a few hits on that before slowing it down to a Texas rigged brushhog. Tough fishing, hardly any breeze.

The bite has been getting tougher. Slowed it down with Texas Rig and drop shot, dragging the bait slowly in between lily pads
