I use shinners that I purchase at the BassPro Outdoor store between Jamestown and Russell Springs. The people there are always helpful and informative with information about the fishing. This is the only place I get my bait and supplies.

With the strong winds on Wed. I felt I should have bottom fish, but I have never been too successful--only catching smallmouths or other types of fish. I will probably try a 5 gallon bucket to act more like a drift net to try and slow down my boat in the wind. Anybody have any suggestions to slow down a boat with the strong Spring winds?

Also, looking forward to the night fishing. I am wondering if anybody has heard anything about the night bite?
