70 degrees mostly sunny
main river said 39, cove said 42 at noon. At barge pits 46 in 7 foot water, 52 in the shallows
Left out of Osbornes fished a cove on the left for a while and then hit the barge pit area near the end of the day
none
spinnerbait, drop shot worm, rattle trap, kreature bait
tried to focus on 4-6 foot of water. did hit some shallower and deeper water too
Tried the rattle trap and drop shot around some deeper water spots. Tried the spinnerbait and kreature bait around some laydowns.
Only fished 3 hours total, mostly drove around and checked things out. Never been there before. I met one guy with orange shirt and white hat that said he got one small one in the morning in the barge pits but quiet after that. Saw a lot of boats out there, huge engines, it appeared that I could have used something larger than my 9.9 engine out there. Joefroggy
