My trip was the day after a full moon. We thought we would get them in top water in am. Nothing. Tried cranks, swim baits, nothing. We slowed down and drop shotted off steep ledges and rocky banks. Caught a mix of 18 (largemouth, spotted bass, and small mouth.

Incredibly hot!! Spent the morning pitching a worm in the laydowns. Caught three little largemouth. Nothing over 12 inches. Pitched the worm on a rocky point later in the morning and caught a smallmouth about 2 1/2 pounds. Then the pontoons and ski boats came out and I had to go.
