Met my friend at the ramp at 5:30 this morning (should have said 5) and I was really, really, really, really hoping that we would have weather like we've had the last 2 days; overcast and no wind. Well, we got the no wind all right, but what clouds there were cleared out by 8 and it got hot fast.
I got to witness a decent sunrise while waiting for my friend to show up and we caught a few decent bass so life is good
. Water temps were right around 74 and the water was pretty clear today...caught all my fish on a 4" black Senko (never saw that coming, did you
) and my buddy caught his on a white finesse worm and a shad-colored Senko knockoff, and one on a spinnerbait.
We caught all our fish very close to rip rap or rocks/rock bluffs, basically anywhere there was shade. We both tried topwater lures early on with no luck. What made it a really good day was that due to it being a weekday, there were only a few other boats on the water today.
