I fished Friday -- every fish I caught was "fresh" and up shallow. Crankbait on chuck rock/45 deg banks seemed the most popular. Above Fate was really dirty. Around Poole Knob was much clearer and much more productive. I also caught two quality fish that managed to get themselves caught on rocks right by the boat. This in the span of like 10 minutes. Lost both of them. They weren't hogs but big enough that I couldn't horse them in hence playing 'em a little by the boat. My biggest was around 4 caught off the channel ledge between Fate and the island off of Poole Knob. There's a sand bar that is currently visible with a few stumps. Water literally goes from 15 to 2 feet. Chartreuse/black back squarebill in between the stumps and boom. Shocked that spot wasn't fished out by noon. I was the only boat at Poole Knob -- that alone was worth the trip.
