Fished Barren yesterday morning from 7 till 10:45. Caught 8 or 9 shorties with maybe 5 of those in the slot. A mix of SM,LM, and spots, best one being a 14" smallie. Everything I caught was 15 to 19' deep. Excellent conditions with nice cloud cover and a light breeze. Survived a 10 minute deluge of big ole summertime raindrops about 1/4 pound apiece.

When the sun came out about 10:30 I couldn't get bit anymore and the heat/hunidity was oppressive. Went home and took my wife and daughter out to brunch.
