Bob and I were on the water before 7a and tried a few new places....to no avail!



Nice temps in the morning but no bites...not even down here!



We both got the skunk off (at 9a within 5 minutes of each other) when we floated the last third of my island (middle).



Bob's was caught on a small, chartreuse buzz abut.



Mine was caught on the Megabass wannabe knock off...it was 16.5"!

We then tried a few more places including XX but nothing.

Now it's around noontime and we have gone @ 3 hours without a bite so I decide to float the chute...not an easy task but immediately, after seeing a smallie chase bait up the shore, Bob gets slammed on his buzz bait. Yes, at noon!  Nice smallie on but it comes unbuttoned...

He had a few more takes and finally nabbed a chunky 13.5"er!



I decide to do the drift again so we take a wide swath and start over. Up at the top, Bob got hit with a nice 14.5" LMB!



We ended up drifting the middle where I saw a smallie hiding in small tree trunk. He would not take my offering and took off.

We saw no fish roaming.

It was sloooow....only 4 fish caught from 7a to almost 2p.

Water temps were 75-75. River was mostly clear, a litt;e fuzzy at the MD side.

Time to take a break from these guys!
