i put 2 fish in the boat saturday on a shaky head in about 3 ft of water around noon. early in the morning fish were rolling right on the bank and i had a few blowups on a frog but missed those. in between i couldn't find a bite but i did see guys catching fish. my way of thinking is if you have time to go it's best to try your luck, it's better than sitting at the house wondering if you would have had a good day.
