Water was stained to muddy and averaged 78-80 degrees. Found most fish in shallow pockets with shad. Full moon and clear skies all night before made daylight fishing tough. Weightless Fluke fished in a cold water pattern with fairly long pauses between mild twitches drew the most strikes. They did not react to an aggressive or fast action that you would normally use in hot summer conditions. Topwater was not working -- they wanted something sub-surface.

They are a little hard to find but they will bite when you run by them with a medium depth crank bait. They also are biting on swim baits. I had luck with the xzone swammer 3.5 inch on a dirty jigs jig head. Lots of smaller fish. I did catch 3-4 that were the size of this one but most were dinks.
