Any idea's?

For the most part I beleive the spawn is over. There may be some straglers left, but I think the false spring we had messed alot of timing up. As for the missed fish I too have had that problem. Had a couple of what felt like good fish hit and carry a Tiki-stick, set the hook, be 3-5 seconds into a good fight and turn it loose. Bring the bait in and the hook had never left the bait. And it was skin hooked at that. I think in some situations a bass bites down on a soft plastic so hard that they'll hang on till you just take it away from them. Very frustrating indeed.

What a difference today. We had all of the bass in the boat but one and it held on so well that i launched it 5 feet toward the boat before it let go and splashed me. That was some cold water at 8am with the wind and cool temps. We stuck 'em today!

Yeah man....today was different for sure, but had fun.

Got out early this morning with DJD for a little wind-whipped bassin...man that wind could blow a chill right through you today. Showed up in short sleeves and it wasn't long before the jacket came out of storage...BRRRRRR.

The water was up at least a foot from Saturday and stained. Water temps ranged from 66-69 throughout the morning. The pattern from Saturday wasn't exactly in-tact, but we managed. Zoom Nail Worm, Snoozer Tube, and Buckeye Soft Jerk were the money winners. Nine fish in the boat, one of which was a catfish that hunkered down in the grass on Don and made us think that a pig beast state record largemouth was on the hook. I did luck into a solid little 4-pound largemouth that destroyed a soft jerkbait and took me for a nice ride on a 7' Medium-Light creekin' rod.

Thanks for the trip Don...here are some pictures:
