Skipping low overhangs and pitching to shallow brushpiles and lay downs. Most bass were on beds so the bites were brief and often subtle.

I ended up with 16 bass- I would say close to 38lbs+ if not more.. all Spinnerbait today.. Was just conversing with a local legend (Thomas A.) about how good that Spinnerbait is and was yesterday as well.. I got out there a little after 1:20pm.. lite rain, overcast was prime for blade baits. I slayed them pretty good. 5 pounders, at least 2 over 6lbs , some 4lbers, 3's on down to pound+.. the bite was so fierce I didn't want to leave.. Willis
