Went from 3:30 to dark on short notice so I had to bank fish as I didn’t have my trolling motor with me. Hadn’t been to Malouf before, air temp was 50, windy and overcast but no rain. Slow until about 6:30, only caught a 2 lb on a c-rig with a watermelon seed brush hog and lost one more. Nothing on crank baits or spinner baits. Only fished close to and around structure (a mistake as it turned out), didn’t fish the dam as there was another property owner crappy fishing there. Around 6:30 the wind died down a little so I switched to a white 3/8 oz buzz bait and only fished the shallow grass flats all along the same shoreline that the boat launch is on and that did it. Caught 9, had another 3 hits from 6:30 til dark, all between 1.5 and 3.5 pounds. Overall good day.
