Additional Comments: = Started the day fishing buzzbaits. Had four small
ones hook up but throw the bait. Once it got light I moved to some of my
deeper water, 14 foot, spots. Caught a 2.5 and 2 pounder on jigs.
Then moved farther up into the south end. Caught two more 2.5 fish on the
Jig. That bite died off so switched to a big worm. Had a few hits
and caught two fish fairly quickly. Color was red shad. My luck was
that I had a limited supply of them. When I ran out tried switching colors
but just was not getting bitten anymore. To top that off I broke one fo my
best rods on a snag. After that decided to call it quits.

switched to the Jig when I got to one of my deeper water spots. Caught
another 3 1/2 on that and also a nice 3 pounder. That bite died so
swithced to a Senko fished in heavy trees. No takers on that so went to
what has been my bread and butter a big curly tail worm. Fished that for
the rest of the day , caught six on it. Missed quite a few more. Got
to learn to give them a lot of time to get that big worm down before trying to
swing the rod on em.
