Had 5.85 in our three fish Sunday. 3rd was 6.40 I believe, big fish was 6.50, 8.90 won it I believe. Went out Saturday and caught some nice fish, had a limit by 8am. Lost some really nice fish both days. Never had a fish really eat the crankbait. All of them just had the back hook and just barely hooked. They’re just slapping at it. I’ve changed hooks, lighter action rod, slowed the retrieve, sped it up, loosened drag, even changed from fluorocarbon to mono. I tried a more natural color and didn’t get bit, picked up the chartreuse crank again wham, fish on. It’s getting about time to put it down and pick up a spinner bait or swim jig though. But I’m puzzled at the fish I’ve lost over the weekend and don’t know what else to do to execute and get the fish in the boat!

Didn’t take pics of Sunday fish but here’s some from Saturday


That’s the crank I’ve done my “damage” on. At the bottom of the pic is a sexxxy shad that just won’t get touched...
