I fished from daylight until 12pm. There was virtually no current. I caught 4 largemouth and 8 spotted bass. 6 were keepers over 14”. Two keeper largemouth and 4 keeper spots. First two fish were caught on a white fluke. Slowed way down and fished a weightless Senko painfully slow and caught 10. Most of the bites came off the ends of lay downs.
