[retty poor couple days of fishing. do you mind if i ask you what you were using? im assuming you fished blue river, wolf creek and all those.
I hear what you are saying about Patoka, thats been one weird lake this year for sure! As for the river I allways keep it small of course, last few weeks Ive had luck with white/chartreuse spinerbaits, small creature baits, 3.5" tubes and 1/4 oz, Tenn Shad or Chrome Rattletraps. As for the plastic lures junebug colors have worked well, plus Ive been dipping the tails in chartreuse dye, and Im using an 1/8 oz tungston weight. Ive seen alot of bass busting shad close to the surface, but so far Ive not done much good throwing top water baits. Most of the other boats Ive seen were all throwing small buzzbaits but I never saw anyone boat a fish. Hope this helps ah little!
