Got on the water around 10 am.  Water temp was 58 degrees and outside temp was around 62.  A pretty good wind early out of the south, but you could get tucked in behind the dam and get out of it for the most part.  The deepest water I charted was around 12’. 

Tried everything in my arsenal, but slow bouncing a 3/8 maribou jig off the bottom in the drift seemed to be the most popular option.

Caught two bass, one a 8 inch and the other a 19” hog with some battle damage.  Two very nice crappie and three smaller ones. 

I marked numerous fish in the 5-8’ range and there was some feeding activity as small schools of baitfish (I assume shad) would surface occasionally as something was chasing them for a meal.

I spent a little time looking for brushpiles with negative results.  I’d be willing to help out in putting a few in here.

Nice Fish. A 19 inch that fat was probably about 4.5 lbs.
