GOMH Then Out In the Trophy the Rest Of the Day

3.04/17.5" Pop Max Knock Off (Pink)

8:30-10:30AM GOMH
12:00-7:00PM West Point, F Flat, Chuck's Point, Across from PA, Double Cane Point
Conditions: 48-57℉, Mostly Cloudy, Light SE to WSW Wind. Water Level High and Rising
Water Temp: 56℉

Yes the water is high

16" Craw Tube (Green Pumpkin)

I got a swimbait bit off to start the morning on the SW side. Then I had the Shower Blows knock off I had just won on eBay get bit off. Didn't even catch a fish with it. Basically, it was a toothy bullhead fest at the GOMH this morning. I also had a Jerk Shad get bit off on the NE side. I caught 10 of them total 7 on a Jerk Shad, 2 on the craw tube, 1 on the Hack Jig. I did get that one good bass on the SW side. When I was fishing the NE side Chuck Steinbauer called, but my phone was out of juice before he could tell me anything.

I went home to call Chuck and found out I was needed for the Challenge Cup.

How high's the water mamma?

We are nearing peak leaves

I got back on the water at noon. I quickly caught two 12" bass on a black Shower Blows knock off and a 10" and 14" on the craw tube off of West Point. The rest of the day it was a struggle to catch fish.

Pop Max Knock Off

I moved over to F Flat and quickly got my big fish of the day on the above Pop Max knock off. I thought maybe it was gonna be AWWWWWWWN, but it wasn't. I caught one dink on the X-Rap Prop and that was it for F Flat.

I then went to Green Cabin Bay. There was only pike there until I got to the reeds at Chuck's Point.

17.25" Spro Shad Sprinker KO

I think I missed a couple of strikes there as well. Next, I headed across from the public access. I missed a few hits there but did catch two bass (14, 16.25) on a Terminator Frog.
