Was in the water at Wax at 6 AM. Ran to Conoloway Creek mouth looking for whites jumps. Stayed there 3 hours with no luck for jumps, and caught 3 crappie trolling Bandit cranks. Next ran down passed Moutadier, and 1/2 way to the dam looking for jumps. No luck. Came back up to "Cono", and still nothing there, then up to Dog Creek at the mouth. Lots of good sized jumps going on and boated 7 1 to 2 pound KY and Large mouth on a Zora Spook. That are quieted down around 1039 am, so we ran around well up passed Wax and didn't find anymore surface acton.

Couple funny things:

a. At Dog Creek, a bass boat with 2 guys in it were also fishing the jumps. When a jump went up, they'd power up and run right into the MIDDLE of the white water, then cast well out to all sides of where they stopped. Was kinda cracking me up. If they had just stopped 40 feet short of the feeding fish they would have landed a ton!

b. Didn't see any white bass jumps at al all day. Whas up with dat? They go on vacation?

c. Friday night, wife and I tried same areas, and not white bass jumps, but......we caught 4 ea 18 to 23 inch flatheads, and 4 channels cats from 16 to 24 inches, all on top water baits including Spooks and Baby Redfins. Whas up with dat? Never done that before.

Is it maybe the water is so warm and oxygen bad at the surface, that the whites done gone deep, and the cats that can stand anything have taken there place?
