where on laurel did you fish? me and a buddy fished 3 times last week and caught good fish each night. the thing is, they're not stirring 'till 1 or 2 oclock in the morning. stay after them. they're seeming to prefer small baits, 3" berkley power craw in junebug worked best. also, consider fishing the sloughs with standing timber in the lower end of the lake, its a pain in the arse, but it pays off big.
