The bite is definitely slower than it was last week - but still not bad. I did however have catch 3 smallies on 3 casts - all about 12 inches at the most. Had 1 keeper out of 5 today and it would have barely measured. Also hooked two big shad (Gizzard I guess)- already had two showers and can still smell them!!! The highlight of the day was a bald eagle landing on a tree about 10 yards from me to check me out for a minute or so before flying off. I see them on occasion at the lake, but never that close.
