Went to Patoka yesterday. Put in at Walls and fished around Osborne. Wasn't there 20 minutes and had a 4lber in the boat. Caught her in the grass on a flat with a texas craw. Kept fishing with no bites. Seen pods of fry. Tore the fry up to try to get a bite, with no luck. Caught 2 more keepers (squeekers) in a pocket on a topwater walker. Went back to the same spot I caught the first fish and wore it out with a buzzbait. Caught another solid 4 lber. Fished til dark. All in all, 6 fish with 4 keepers.
Water was clear and 80 Degrees. Grass was chopped up from the pleasure boaters cutting the flats short. Found a couple small pods of fry. Bluegill were all over the banks. Small bass were roaming also. Small bass looked to be schooled up in the middle of the creeks. I don't think I have seen so many big carp in one day before. Would have loved to bowfished.
