I got out on Wheeler and took my neighbor's kid who is getting into fishing. I figured the shad spawn would be a good time for him to catch some. I took him to one of my yearly shad spawn area and they were there. We caught them on Nichols spinnerbaits, Cumberland Pro Bama Swim Jig with a Riot Cyclone trailer, and 6th Sense Dogma during the shad spawn. When the shad spawn bite died, we went and fished off shore dropshotting and dragging worms and c-rigs. We had a good day. Take a kid fishing, when you can, it is so rewarding.

I had a small club tournament on Wheeler. There where a bunch of tournaments going on so people where everywhere. I fished my plan but the wind had a different plan than was ideal for me. I couldn't get on a shad spawn like last week. The fish didn't want a topwater because of the wind and I switched to a jerkbait. Started catching largemouth and smallmouth right away. The only 2 good smallies pulled off at boat trying to play them out. Caught a lot of 14.75 inch smallies, have to be 15 inches. Decided to fish deep and caught fish on dropshot and a big shakeyhead (local made 3/4 oz football head and mag trick worm) on a ditch with shell. Just never got the better bite this week where they came easy last week. Ended up catching a bunch of fish but only had 10.5 lbs. The Opens guys will be fully offshore.
