I got out before all the pleasure boaters and jet skiers since this lake gets crazy about 11am or so. I’m glad I did because I found them early. I was cranking the dirt with a squarebill and had my boat pinned up against the rip rap. I had to make contact with the rock to get bit. The water was high and dirty, so I upsized my squarebill from the 50x to the 100x and it paid off with a nice 4lb northern strain largemouth. Decent day!

TONS of shad up shallow, and I mean TONS. I snagged one that was probably 12 inches. That made it TOUGH, but it was worth the wait because big mama bit my 6th Sense Crush 50x right before I needed to get off the water. I was targeting shallow rip rap in the extremely dirty water hitting every rock I possibly could and that's what seduced Bertha.
