4:50-6:30AM
Conditions: Hazy sun, very light wind, temps mid 50's
I arrived at the skeeters were out, the golden bullheads weren't. Eventually I put on a KVD Sexy Dawg and on my first cast right after it landed a bullhead hit it, but didn't hook up. I went over to the SW side and had a bullhead hit and miss a Berkley Frenzy Popper. I then got a 13" jumpin' bullhead on a bluegill color Pure Poison and I missed a couple of hits on it too. The Grass Pig Jr. trailer got bit off.
I went back to the NE side just as the Sun was coming up. I got this 12" jumper.

The way it hit I thought I had a 16 incher on, not a peanut. I also caught a small toothy on the Spro. That was it for the morning. I noticed that I had lost a screw out of my Tatula's side plate and it was getting loose. So when I got home I tightened it up and took a screw from a Fuego I'm not using that needs serviced.
Evening Trip:
8:00-9:35PM
Conditions: Hazy Sun and clouds, temp in the 70's, No wind
Willard and the black lady were fishing on the N side of the bridge and Matt W and some guys were fishing on the S side when I arrived. I started on the SE side and BAM! First cast.

I saw the fish wake 4 feet and nail it. After trying the SW side slop and talking with Willard at the bridge I headed down into the weeds on the NE side. I tried fishing the Horny Toad, but I couldn't get enough distance. I had fish boil on the Spro and not get it. Then I had a fish boil on it and get hooked only to come off as I got it into the thicker rice, same as last night. I had what I assume was a toothy swing and miss the
Spro. About half way to the channel I had a jumper suck the Spro down.

It was a good one. That was the last surface hit. I got a small toothy under the bridge on a Sexy Shad Ultimate Jerk Shad. Peter and his brother were fishing bullheads when I left.
